Scottish side Hearts will look to continue their winning streak as they travel to face Hibernian who are aiming to shrug off their recent defeat in theScottish Premiership.
Hibernian lost to St. Johnstone after Graham Carey scored the solitary goal for the home side handing Hibernian their second defeat in three games. They can move within two points of their neighbour if they end up on the right side of the scoreline in the Edinburgh derby.
Hearts, on the other hand, have shaken off their successive defeats with back-to-back victories against league leaders Celtic and St. Mirren. The three points against Celtic would give them massive confidence as they look to bridge the gap between the two outfits above them.
