Hibernian's Dominance Against Motherwell Continues
Hibernian have been showcasing their dominance over Motherwell in recent meetings, a trend football enthusiasts have keenly observed. The stats underline a compelling narrative of Hibs' upper hand in this matchup, particularly in away games. Historically, Hibs have emerged victorious in their last two league encounters against Motherwell, looking to extend this winning streak to three—a feat last achieved back in August 2018.
Away Game Resilience
The Leith side continues to display remarkable resilience in away games, a trait that has been consistently evident. Out of their past eight league visits to Motherwell, Hibs have lost only once (W4 D3). This includes a narrow 2-1 defeat under Lee Johnson in August 2023. This record is a testament to their robust away form and strategic gameplay, cementing their reputation as formidable travellers in the Scottish Premiership.
Motherwell's Strong Home Form
While Hibs have been enjoying success on their travels, Motherwell have held their ground at home. Motherwell have been tough to defeat at their home turf with just one loss in their last 10 home games in the Scottish Premiership—a 2-1 setback against Falkirk in October. This strong home form includes three consecutive midweek league game victories, a streak they last enjoyed in January 2020.
Hibs and Midweek Challenges
Despite their overall solid performances, Hibernian face a peculiar challenge on midweek (Tuesday) fixtures. Currently, they are winless in nine Premiership matches played on a Tuesday, settling for draws in the last five consecutive games on this day. This pattern highlights a specific area of concern for the team, albeit one that they are undoubtedly keen to address.
Preview of the Upcoming Clash
As Hibs gear up for their next face-off against Motherwell, the stats set the stage for an intriguing clash. While Motherwell has shown resilience at home, Hibs’ historical advantage and recent form suggest they could very well tip the scales in their favour. After all, with a Scottish FA Cup final clearly in sights for the Hibees this season, every league match is a step towards achieving that ultimate glory.
