Team News

Hibernian
Ross County
  • Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named an unchanged Hibernian team that picked up a first league win since the 9th December as they beat Dundee 2-1 at Easter Road at the weekend, before a 1-1 derby draw at Tynecastle on Wednesday night.
  • Rocky Bushiri made a first start since December against Dundee, having been away with DR Congo at the African Cup of Nations, replacing Nectarios Triantis in the Hibees' defence to join Lewis Miller, Will Fish and Jordan Obita.
  • Emiliano Marcondes scored against Hearts with his second goal in three games. Myziane Maolida, who netted the weekend winner, remained on the left. Dylan Vente, who fired Hibs ahead from the spot on Saturday, continued as the Hibees' sole striker.
  • Interim Ross County boss Don Cowie named just one change to the Staggies side that clinched a huge three points in a 3-2 victory over relegation rivals Livingston on Saturday, before being held at home by St Mirren in a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.
  • Ryan Leak and Michee Efete continued alongside Loick Ayina in the back three. Josh Reid and Eli King - who replaced Teddy Jenks - started at left wing-back and right wing-back respectively.
  • Victor Loturi and Max Sheaf continued in midfield. Yan Dhanda was absent through injury, so Jordan White - who scored against St Mirren - joined Eamonn Brophy - who bagged a brace against Livi - and Simon Murray in attack.

Prediction

  • Both Hibernian and Ross County were unlucky to drop two points in midweek, both teams having won in the Scottish Premiership last weekend.
  • Hibs clinched a first league win in two months but were held by Hearts at Tynecastle under the lights on Wednesday night. The Hibees have now won just one of their last eleven league derbies but, having picked up a point, they'll want to get back to winning ways and aid their aims of breaking into the top six. Unbeaten in three league games, their form is maybe beginning to turn.
  • Ross County moved a step closer to survival after clinching a vital victory over Livingston and were minutes away from claiming back-to-back Scottish Premiership wins. A draw isn't a disaster but it's a disappointment all things considered. They'll be disappointed that St Johnstone won on Wednesday night, as Saints try to build a gap, but the Staggies still have a game in hand on them.
  • Hibs blew a two-goal lead when Ross County last came down to Easter Road in their only league meeting so far this season, and will want to right those wrongs this weekend and continue a potential upturn in form.
