Hibernian host Heart of Midlothian in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides. The home side sit 32nd in the table with eight points from two wins, two draws and two defeats, edging their rivals by a single goal on goal difference (8‑7). Hearts, languishing at 95th with just two points from two stalemates and a balanced 3‑3 record, will be desperate to pick up their first win of the campaign.

Both clubs will be eager to turn their fortunes around before the season’s end.
