Hibernian tend to get on the scoresheet more often than not in their home games this season, making both teams to score an attractive option at Easter Road on Sunday. The Hibees have failed to hit the back of the net in just 1 of their 10 Scottish Premiership home games this term. In fact, they have notched in each of their last 9 league assignments in front of their own supporters, with both teams scoring in 6 of their last 7.

That BTTS trend could continue against a Rangers side that have shipped 2 goals in each of their 2 recent away days at St Mirren and Motherwell. Philippe Clement’s side also contributed to the scoring in each of those two games. It’s also worth noting that the Light Blues have struck once or more in each of their last 11 Scottish Premiership matches. Thus, backing each team to oblige in Edinburgh seems like a sensible solution on Sunday.

A minimum of 4 corners should be within range for Hibernian on Sunday afternoon. David Gray’s side have been relatively prolific corner takers in the Scottish Premiership this term, averaging 5.95 per-game. They have covered the 4+ flag-kick line in 16 of their 21 top-flight outings this season so far.

When the two teams squared off at Ibrox back in September, Hibs came out on top on the corner count 7-4. Thus, 4 or more corners for the home team looks well within the realms of possibility when they take on a Rangers side that are conceding an average of 4.21 corners per-90 in the Scottish Premiership this season. The Glasgow giants had to defend 7 corners away at St Mirren on Boxing Day, while Ross County racked up 8 of their own when hosting the Light Blues last month.

Look to Rangers to collect 2 or more cards when they go up against Hibernian in the capital on Sunday. Perhaps surprisingly, Clement’s side are averaging 2.32 cards per-game in the Scottish Premiership this season. To put that into context, just 4 other teams hold a higher bookings per 90 average than the Light Blues in the top-flight this season at this juncture. They have received 2 or more cautions in each of their last five league games, landing in the referee’s notebook on 3 occasions during each of their previous 2 road games at Motherwell and St Mirren.

It’s also worth pointing out that Rangers were shown exactly two cards when hosting Hibs earlier this season. As for the Hibees, they are drawing an average of 2.33 cards per-game from their Scottish Premiership opponents this season.

With a keenly-contested affair anticipated in the capital on Sunday afternoon, 5 or more match cards looks worthy of support.  It’s not been uncommon to see tensions boil over when Hibernian and Rangers have gone head-to-head over the years. In fact, Hibs were shown 2 red cards during a Scottish Cup quarter-final tie between the pair at this venue last season. As well as those 2 dismissals, 4 yellow cards were also flashed during what was a fiery cup tie. A little less than 3 weeks later the pair would cross paths again at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership, with 5 yellow cards dished out on that occasion.

While just 4 cards were handed out during this season’s previous meeting between the pair, one additional booking should be within range here given the duo’s respective disciplinary records this season. What’s more, referee John Beaton is averaging north of 5 yellow cards per-game in the Scottish Premiership this season.

With both teams likely to play on the front foot and neither side reliable defensively, there should be plenty of goalmouth action at Easter Road on Sunday, making over 2.5 goals an appealing prospect at the odds on offer. There have been no shortage of goals in Rangers’ recent Scottish Premiership games – 5 of the Light Blues’ last 6 league matches have produced at least 3 match strikes. That 6-game sample includes each of Rangers’ previous 3 Scottish Premiership games away from home, the most recent of which saw them share 4 goals with Motherwell.

Meanwhile, Hibernian have also played their part in a number of goal-heavy games in recent times. In fact, 8 of the Hibees’ last 10 top-flight fixtures have featured 3 or more match goals. Thus, the capital club’s clash with Rangers this weekend has all the ingredients for a high-scoring showdown.

Hibernian look overpriced to hit 5 or more corners when they entertain Rangers at Easter Road on Sunday. As already mentioned, David Gray’s side have been averaging a shade under 6 flag-kicks per-game in the Scottish Premiership this season, earning a noteworthy 7 when they faced Rangers at Ibrox earlier this season. Perhaps even more impressively, the capital club also managed to clock up 7 corners away from home against Celtic last month. They have since hit 5 or more flag-kicks in 4 of their 5 games that have followed and they are more than capable of following suit against Rangers.

Both St Mirren and Ross County comfortably covered the 5+ corner line during their recent home games with the Ibrox outfit, racking up 7 and 8 corners respectively. Hibs are a more attack-minded team than the aforementioned duo, making them an attractive proposition to claim at least 5 corners during this contest.

While Rangers will be buoyed by their Old Firm triumph over Celtic, they have won just 4 of their last 14 Scottish Premiership away games.  That ropey road record has coincided with Rangers dropping points in 6 of their 9 Scottish top-flight away days this term. They lost away at St Mirren on Boxing Day and then had to come from two goals down to rescue a point against Motherwell.

Thus, they could struggle against a Hibernian side that ended 2024 in impressive form. The Easter Road outfit have avoided defeat in each of their last 5 league games, banking maximum points from 4 of those contests. Furthermore, David Gray’s team have lost just 2 of their last 9 Scottish Premiership games at their capital headquarters. As such, the Hibees hold plenty of appeal with a +2 start on the handicap when hosting the travel sick Teddy Bears.

Nicolas Raskin is the one to watch from a cards perspective during this game. The Belgian midfielder went into the book for the eighth time this season during Rangers’ 3-0 win over Celtic on Thursday. That means Raskin will be suspended for the Light Blues’ trip to Dundee next Thursday.

With the combative 23-year-old no longer walking a suspension tightrope, he looks an obvious candidate to tackle his way into trouble again this weekend. Raskin has had his name taken in 2 of the last 4 league games that he has started for Rangers away from Ibrox.

The Gers ace is expected to square up against Hibernian’s Joe Newell on Sunday, who is being fouled an average of 1.25 times per 90 minutes in the Scottish Premiership this season.
