- Hibernian have won the last two meetings between the sides, including a 3-1 victory at home in the Premiership 2024/2025 season.
- Hibs have won 3, drawn 3 and lost just 1 of their 7 away games in the 2025/2026 Scottish Premiership.
- Motherwell have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches, and have failed to win their last two home games against Hibernian.
Hibs’ momentum faces a big test
Both of these clubs have started the 2025-2026 Scottish Premiership season in solid, yet unspectacular, fashion, with Hibs sitting 3rd in the table on 18 points from 12 matches, and Motherwell 6th on 15 from 11.
Although Hibs have an extra match played, David Gray’s side have enjoyed a greater run of form than Motherwell of late, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing just 1 of their last 5, including a dominant 3-0 win at St. Mirren in Paisley at the weekend.
Gray, who has overseen Hibs since May 2024, has set up his side to be as disciplined and compact as possible, with a back-three and wing-backs allowing them to maintain a strong defensive structure and a measured possession style. This Motherwell vs Hibernian FC preview highlights how they have scored 1.57 and conceded 1.00 goals per match on average on the road in 2025/2026, and are proficient enough to manage the ball and counterattack with structure.
Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou, who has been in charge since July 2025, has made the Well more aggressive and positive than they have been for years, but they have struggled at Fir Park since the start of the season, winning 1 and losing 2 of their last 3 home matches. For those looking for the Motherwell vs Hibernian FC prediction, recent form suggests that Hibs could have the upper hand away from home.
Both teams to score is the safe pick
Askou’s preferred 3-4-3 system has Motherwell pressing the ball all over the field and looking to transition quickly, with wing-backs often overlapping to create overloads on the wide areas. This direct approach should suit Hibs, who look to be at their most comfortable in transitions, and Motherwell’s record at home doesn’t match that of Hibs on the road this season, so we’re going with a double chance option on the visitors, who also have the psychological advantage after winning the last 2 meetings between the teams. The Motherwell vs Hibernian FC betting tips mostly lean towards goals, given the open styles of play.
Motherwell’s Tawanda Maswanhise has 5 goals in 11 Premiership appearances this season, and will have a big job to do against the compact Hibs defense. Jamie McGrath has 4 goals in 12 for Hibs, and he’s been their main source of goals this term.
Both Teams To Score is our main pick at a solid 1.64, given the way both sides have been playing this term. With league momentum at stake for both sides, the Motherwell vs Hibernian FC prediction points to a scrappy and intense contest.
