• Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings between these sides

• Hibernian won 4-0 the last time they face Dundee in the Premiership in April

• Recommended bet: Hibernian to win and both teams to score

Finishing third in the Premiership last season, Hibernian were the best of the rest behind giants Celtic and Rangers.

Hibs will be hoping they can narrow the gap on the Old Firm duo even further this season and that means targeting three points on the opening weekend at Dundee.

The Dark Blues endured a difficult campaign in the Premiership last term, finishing down in 10th place, only four points clear of Ross County in the relegation play-off place.

Experienced manager Steven Pressley has been tasked with trying to steer Dundee to calmer waters but they face a tough opening game of the Premiership campaign against David Gray’s visitors.

Prediction

Hibernian will have to dust themselves off quickly after their defeat at the hands of Midtjylland in front of a bumper crowd in Leith.

Hitting the road for a change of scene this week could do Gray’s side some good and they should have the quality in their ranks to claim the three points at Dundee on Sunday.

This fixture has not tended to lack goals, with both teams finding the back of the net in all of their last five meetings.

Expect that trend to continue this weekend with Hibs also having the quality to head back to the capital with the spoils.

Back Hibernian to win and both teams to score at 43/20 with LiveScore Bet.
