Team News
Hibernian head coach David Gray named three changes after the Hibees lost late on in their Europa Conference League qualifier second leg 3-2 to KAA Gent on Thursday night at Easter Road, before bouncing back with a 2-1 win over Dundee.
Goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger was chosen between the sticks again. Grant Hanley joined Jordan Obita and Jason Kerr in the Hibs back three. Callum Wright replaced Adam Mayor at left wing-back, with Felix Passlack remaining at right wing-back.
Miguel Chaiwa made way for Jacob Devaney to partner Josh Mulligan in the middle of the park for the Hibees. Jamie McGrath supported a strike duo of Nathan Lowe and Martin Boyle at Dens Park on Sunday afternoon.
Hearts boss Wouter Vrancken named four changes from the Jambos' 2-2 draw against Austrian outfit Rapid Wien before they prevailed on penalties in Vienna last Wednesday night, as they beat St Johnstone 2-1 at Tynecastle on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Beau Reus was the hero between the sticks. Christian Borchgrevink replaced Jamie McCart at left-back, as Stuart Findlay and Oisin McEntee continued in the heart of defence, and Jordi Altena remained at right-back.
Tom Renaud and Blair Spittal made way for Laurent Mendy to partner Tomas Magnusson in front of the Jambos backline. Josh McPake, Claudio Braga and Sabah Kerjota - who replaced Calvin Miller - supported sole striker James Wilson.

Hibernian read W-L-D-W-D-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 2D 1L) — patchy.
Hearts read W-D-D-W-D-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 3D 0L) — a strong recent run.
Head to head the record reads 3-0-3 — Hibernian wins, draws, then Hearts wins. Their last meeting finished Hibernian - Hearts: 1-2.
Our last-six model flags 3 qualifying strikes here. Reading Hibernian first, then Hearts, out of their last six: O 2.50 3 and 5, HT U 1.50 6 and 3, GG 3 and 5.

Hibernian are without 1 — Rocky Bushiri (Doubtful - injured).
Hearts are without 5 — Tom Renaud (Out - injured), Stephen Kingsley (Doubtful - injured), Craig Halkett (Doubtful - injured), Ageu (Doubtful - injured), Malachi Fagan-Walcott (Doubtful - injured). Tom Renaud (8.18/10) would normally be first on the team sheet — that is a real hole in this side.
Early lineups are in: Hibernian set up 3-4-1-2 against 4-2-3-1. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.
The projected score for this one is Hibernian 2 - 2 Hearts, a draw with 4 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.
The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead.
