Hibernian welcome Dundee with both sides locked on 6 points but separated by a single place in the Scottish Premiership table. The hosts sit 5th having played three matches, while the visitors occupy 4th despite having contested four, and that fixture difference adds intrigue to a meeting between two clubs whose recent profile barely separates them. Hibernian have scored 5 and conceded 4 across their three league outings, averaging 1.67 goals for and 1.33 against per game. Dundee's four matches have yielded 5 scored and 3 conceded, a marginally tighter 1.25 and 0.75 per game that gives them a goal difference of plus 2 against Hibernian's plus 1.

The hosts carry a modest advantage in weighted form, rated 6.1 out of 10 against Dundee's 5.3, both described as steady. Hibernian's last five contests produced 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, with 5 goals scored and 4 conceded. They have found the net in 3 of those 5 and kept clean sheets in 3 of 5, a defensive solidity built partly on European experience. Three of their recent outings came in the UEFA Europa Conference League, including a goalless draw away to Gent and a narrow 3-2 home defeat to the same opponent, before they edged Partick 1-0 in the League Cup and then travelled to Dundee to win 2-1 in the Premiership on 30 August.

Dundee's last five meetings show 2 wins and 3 defeats, with 5 scored and 6 conceded. They have registered goals in 3 of 5 and clean sheets in 2 of 5. Their sequence began with a 1-0 loss away to Celtic, followed by a 2-0 home win over Aberdeen in the Premiership and then a 3-0 League Cup defeat at Aberdeen. A 2-0 away victory against Dundee Utd restored momentum, but their most recent outing was the 2-1 home reverse to Hibernian that sits prominently in both teams' recent records.

The head to head ledger tilts decisively toward the hosts. Across the last 10 encounters, Hibernian have won 6, Dundee 1, with 3 draws. Those meetings averaged 3.3 goals, both teams scored in 7 of 10, and 8 of 10 produced over 2.5 goals. The most recent five itemised fixtures underline the pattern: Hibernian won 2-1 away on 30 August 2026, the sides drew 3-3 in February 2026, Hibernian won 2-0 in November 2025, 2-1 in August 2025, and 4-0 in April 2025. Season profiles show Hibernian averaging 16 shots and 4.1 on target per game across a 7-match sample, while Dundee post 14.8 shots and 4.7 on target over 6 matches, with an expected goals figure of 1.28 per outing. Possession and corner counts sit nearly level, but Hibernian commit 11 fouls per game against Dundee's 6.5, a contrast that may shape the rhythm.

The superior head to head record, the form edge and the home setting combine to suggest Hibernian hold a tangible advantage, even if the league table shows the sides in close company. Dundee's tighter defensive average offers them a counter-argument, but their failure to score in 30 percent of matches mirrors Hibernian's blank rate, and the frequency of goals in this fixture historically points toward an open contest. The weight of recent results and the pattern of previous meetings both lean toward a home result.
