Dundee v Hibernian: fast-start hosts meet Ibrox winners in early-season test | OneFootball

Dundee host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026, with the hosts sitting second after three games and the visitors looking to build on their away win at Rangers.

These sides shared a 3-3 at Dens Park in February, a reminder that this fixture can open up. Dundee and Hibernian both arrive with early season points to prove.

Dundee have won two of three league matches, keeping two clean sheets and conceding just one goal. Hibernian split their opening two league games, losing to Motherwell before that 2-1 victory at Rangers.

On the numbers, Dundee have played with 38% possession and 68.91% pass completion, but they have produced 33 shots with 42.42% accuracy and have spread goals across Drey Wright, Joe Bevan, Joe Westley and defender Owen Bevan. The Hibees have posted 80.15% pass accuracy, scored three league goals and converted two penalties, with Martin Boyle and Josh Campbell among the early scorers and Nathan Lowe on the assists list.

A compact Dundee shape could again limit chances, while Hibs may look to combine cleaner passing with Boyle's movement to find space. Set plays and penalty box moments could be decisive given the visitors' perfect record from the spot so far.

A win would move Dundee to nine points and could keep them among the early leaders. Victory for Hibs would take them to six points and may lift them towards the top half. A draw would leave both teams tracking the pack in the opening month.
