On August 5 2018 at 15:00 at the Easter Road Stadium in Edinburg in the upcoming regular first match of the Scottish Premiership the local Hibernian will play against their guests Motherwell.

Hibernian have been really stable in the last few years and they usually participate for the places in the Euro Cups. The team was the fourth in the previous season of the Scottish national elite division with 67 points gained. They were really efficient in attack as they scored 62 goals while their defense wasn’t reliable enough as they missed 46 goals. In the latest games Hibernian outplayed Asteras 3:2 and after that drew them 1:1 and before that they won against NSI 6:4 which let them continue their way in the Europa League qualification.

As for Motherwell, they aren’t very strong and aren’t stable enough in the national championship. They took the first place in the relegation zone last season which is obviously not a good result. They only gained 48 points in their 38 games played during the previous season. The attack of the team wasn’t too poor as they managed to score 43 goals while their defense made the situation rather bad for them as they missed 49 goals. In the previous matches Motherwell won against Clyde and Queen of the South and drew Stranraer 1:1 and lost to them in the penalty shooting,

Hibernian haven’t lost to Motherwell for five matches in a row already. The hosts are considered to be the favorites this time as they are in great conditions and they aren’t supposed to lose points playing against the outsiders of the league.
