Floriana vs Hibernians tips and predictions

Floriana might not outclass Hibernians

There's not much between Floriana and Hibernians in the Premier League. The hosts are in fourth place with 8 points, compared to their opponents who are in sixth place on 7 points.

The short price for Floriana has made them unbackable. Hibernians don't look likely get the win but they can make a match of it. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go crazy about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Establishing something of a fortress against recent opposition, Floriana have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches, while Hibernians have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 3 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 5 of the last 13 have finished on level terms.

Many readers will be expecting one of these sides to smother things due to the favouritism for Floriana. If it plays out as expected then the No BTTS bet could be decent. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 goals standing out in this one considering the price that's available there.

Floriana have drawn 5 of their last 11 matches, most recently when they drew 3-3 with Melita at home in August. Hibernians have drawn 6 of their last 13 away games. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length. A deadlock awaits after what looks set to be a low-scoring affair.
