Premium Tips
Andy narrowly favours Hibs at home, with goals also on the agenda in a derby.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Both Teams To Score & Over 3.5 Goals | 5/2 | Both sides have started the season in free-scoring, open form. Hearts have racked up seven goals in their opening three league games while conceding three, and Hibs have managed five scored and four conceded across their three. That is an average of well over three goals a game in both teams’ fixtures so far, and neither has kept things tight at the back. With Hearts firing and Hibs leaking at their end, the raw output points to goals at both ends and a high total. |
| Amadou Ba-Sy, Pierre Landry Kabore and Calvin Miller 1+ shots on target | 3/1 | All three have already been getting shots away this season. Miller is the strongest of the trio: four attempts, two on target and a goal in 189 minutes from two starts, and he handles set-piece duty too. Ba-Sy, leading the line, has three shots with one on target and ten touches in the opposition box across 124 minutes. Kabore has three shots and one on target from just 89 minutes off the bench, and he banked five goals last season, so the threat is proven. |
