Hibernian Eye Historic Double Over Celtic at Home

Hibernian is poised to achieve a rare feat by securing back-to-back home league wins against Celtic, a milestone not reached since December 2018. This potential victory comes as Celtic has demonstrated a notably low win rate of 27% in league visits to Hibernian since the 2017-18 season, their poorest away record against any Scottish Premiership opponent in that timeframe.

Hibernian boasts a strong home record, having lost only one of their last 18 league games at home, showcasing their resilience. Conversely, Celtic enters this fixture on a three-game winning streak, maintaining clean sheets in each. This defensive solidity echoes their form from earlier in the season, though they haven't achieved seven consecutive wins with clean sheets since the opening six matches of last season.

Celtic's attacking prowess is highlighted by their joint-leading three 90th-minute winners in the Scottish Premiership this season, with Callum McGregor being a significant contributor. McGregor leads all players in open play sequences ending in a shot. Despite Hibernian's strength in scoring from high turnovers, they have had fewer shots following such turnovers compared to many teams.
