Dundee v Hibernian: bottom-half lift meets top-five momentum | OneFootball

Dundee host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Saturday, 28 February 2026, with the hosts aiming to pull away from ninth and the visitors looking to cement fifth after an impressive recent run.

Head to head, Hibernian have won both league meetings this season, 2-1 in August and 2-0 in November, and lead the recent series with 12 victories from the last 20. Dundee have two.

Dundee have taken four points from their last two league games, drawing 2-2 with Livingston before a 3-2 win at Aberdeen. Hibs, meanwhile, have won three of their last four Premiership matches, capped by a 2-1 victory at Celtic.

Season trends point to a clear stylistic contrast. Hibs have scored 45 league goals with 80.54% passing accuracy and 20.67% cross accuracy, taking 286 shots. Kieron Bowie has eight league goals, with Jamie McGrath on seven and Martin Boyle on six. Dundee have 24 goals and 43% average possession, with 42 conceded, but Cameron Congreve leads the Premiership for assists with seven.

Routes to goal could hinge on wide play and control of the ball. With seven headed goals, Dundee may look to attack via crosses, while the Hibees could use their cleaner passing to dominate phases and release runners on the counter.

In the table, Dundee sit ninth on 27 points. A win would take them to 30 and could improve their position. Hibs are fifth on 45 points. Victory would move them to 48 and strengthen their hold on the top five.
