Hibernian v Dundee Utd: top-half push meets recovery bid | OneFootball

Hibernian host Dundee Utd in the Scottish Premiership at Easter Road on Wednesday, 4 February 2026, with the hosts fifth and the visitors eighth as both look to build momentum.

These sides drew both league meetings this season, a 3-3 at Easter Road in September and a 1-1 at Tannadice in December, underlining how tight this match-up has been.

Hibernian drew with Rangers last time out and have one win in their past four league matches. Dundee Utd have lost three of their last four in the league, including a 3-0 home defeat by Hearts.

Hibs average 1.6 goals per game and have seven clean sheets this season, with Kieron Bowie on eight league goals and Jamie McGrath on seven, while Martin Boyle has five. For United, Zachary Sapsford leads with six, Ivan Dolcek has five and Amar Fatah four, though the Arabs have conceded 37 and kept three clean sheets.

The Hibees' scoring rate against United's goals-against record suggests the hosts could look to impose themselves, but United's forward options mean they may still threaten if they find space.

In the table picture, Hibs sit on 36 points and a win would take them to 39 and strengthen their grip on fifth. United are on 25 points and victory would move them to 28, level with seventh-placed Aberdeen, offering valuable breathing room in mid-table.
