Hibernian v Hearts: top-four bids collide at Easter Road | OneFootball

Hibernian host Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Thursday, 3 September 2026 at Easter Road, with both sides on six points and looking to strengthen early top half claims.

Hibernian lost 2-1 at home to Hearts in April. The visitors arrive third, the hosts fifth, after three league games apiece.

Hibs have banked away wins at Rangers and Dundee in the league. The Jambos, meanwhile, have posted back to back home victories over Dundee United and St Johnstone, and also advanced on penalties after a 2-2 draw away to Rapid Vienna.

The Hibees' build-up has been tidy, with 83.39% pass completion and sharper crossing from open play at 27.08%, which could service Martin Boyle and Callum Wright, both on two league goals. The Jam Tarts have seven league goals and one clean sheet so far, with Cláudio Braga supplying two assists. Their volume from wide areas is high, though open-play cross accuracy sits at 13.04%. Set against Hibs' delivery, wide duels could decide where the game swings.

A win would take Hibs to nine points and could move them into the top four. The Jambos would also reach nine points and may consolidate their place in the top three.
