Stats for this game
Matchup Hibernian VS Heart Of Midlothian
Derby balance
The Edinburgh derby has produced swings rather than a one-sided script. Hibernian and Hearts shared a 1–1 draw on 27 October 2024, while Hibs won 2–1 at Hearts on 26 December 2024. Those meetings show how narrow margins can separate the sides even when one club carries the broader advantage. The 3–2 Hibernian victory in December 2025 added another example of the nominal challenger overturning that balance.
Hearts answer back
Hearts supplied the counterweight in 2026. They won 2–1 away on 26 April and returned on 3 September to earn a 3–1 Premiership victory. Those fixed results give Hearts firmer footing without erasing Hibernian’s ability to reverse the order. The durable question is therefore not whether one side owns the fixture, but which team can turn a narrow edge into control when the city rivals meet. The evidence supports respect for Hearts’ advantage and for Hibs’ repeated capacity to disrupt it.
