Hibernian vs Rangers Predictions

An entertaining cup contest should be on the cards at Easter Road. While Hibs are in good form, I expect Rangers quality to shine through in a high-scoring away victory.

In the anytime scorer market, James Tavernier could be worth a punt given his fine record in this fixture.

Rangers have won 5 of their last 6 away matches
Rangers have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 away matches
Rangers have seen over 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches against Hibernian
Rangers captain James Tavernier has scored in 3 of his last 4 away matches against Hibernian
Hibernian have seen over 3.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Rangers
HIbernian have lost 5 of their last 6 home matches against Rangers
Hibernian have seen over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 9 matches

Head to Head

Rangers have an excellent recent record in matches against Hiberian. The Glasgow giants have won seven of their last eight meetings since December 2021.

Hibernian Form

Hibernian come into Sunday's live Scottish Cup contest unbeaten in five matches after a comfortable 2-0 win against Ross County last weekend. January loan signing Myziane Maolida scored his fourth goal in nine appearances for the Hibees.

With the Premiership split on the horizon, Nick Montgomery's side have moved up to sixth in the division.

While in good form, Hibs have struggled for consistency at Easter Road. The Edinburgh-based side have won four and lost four of their last ten home fixtures.

Hibernian Team News

Hibs boss Montgomery has no fresh injury issues and may name the same XI that eased past Ross County last time out.

Jake Doyle-Hayes and Josh Campbell remain the only absentees for the home side.

Rangers Form

Rangers bounced back from a shock home defeat against Motherwell last weekend with a spirited 2-2 draw against Benfica in the Europa League on Thursday. The Gers took the lead twice in Lisbon but were pegged back by a harshly awarded penalty and a Connor Goldson own goal.

Despite last Saturday's defeat against Motherwell, the Gers retain a two-point advantage at the summit of the Premiership, with only nine games left to play.

Phillipe Clement´s on-form side secured their place in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals with a straight-forward 2-0 win against Ayr United last month.

Rangers Team News

Head coach Clement has a lengthy list of absentees ahead of Rangers trip to Edinburgh on Sunday. Todd Cantwell, Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, Kieran Dowell, Danilo and Abdallah Sima are all likely to remain absent for the visitors.

Fabio Silva impressed in Thursday´s draw in Portugal, and is likely to keep his place alongside Cyriel Dessers in the Gers attack.

Verdict

Hibernian v Rangers

Hibernian have picked up some good results in the last month, but will struggle to deal with an impressive Rangers side.

I fancy the Gers to claim their place in the semi-finals with at least three goals scored at Easter Road.
