Dundee Utd vs Hibernian

Dundee Utd face Hibernian in the Premiership on Saturday 10 October 2026 at Tannadice Park, with the visitors carrying four confirmed defensive injuries into the contest.

Four injured defenders for Hibernian

Hibernian enter the fixture missing Jordan Obita, Kanayochukwu Megwa, Marko Ivezić, and Rocky Bushiri, all ruled out through injury. The away side sit 10th in the table with seven points from seven matches, having conceded 11 goals. Their leading scorer across all competitions is Martin Boyle with three goals. Despite picking up just one point from their last four league games—drawing 1-1 with Aberdeen on 19 September after defeats to Kilmarnock, St Johnstone, and Heart Of Midlothian—Hibernian have been more effective away from home, winning two of their three Premiership trips and scoring five goals.

Dundee Utd search for first home victory

Dundee Utd are 9th in the standings with eight points from seven games, one point ahead of Hibernian. Jim Goodwin's team enter this fixture after a 3-0 away win against St Mirren on 19 September, but they have yet to win at Tannadice Park in league action this season, recording two draws and one loss from three matches with just two goals scored. They will be without Emmanuel Agyei and Mehdi Merghem due to injury. Top scorer Jesse Randall leads their scoring charts this season with two goals.

Hibernian unbeaten in last five meetings

Recent head-to-head fixtures have run in Hibernian's favor. Across the last five meetings between the sides, Dundee Utd have failed to record a victory. Hibernian won 3-2 on 4 February 2026, followed by a 1-1 draw on 20 December 2025 and a 3-3 draw on 13 September 2025. Hibernian also took both meetings earlier in 2025, winning 3-1 in May and 3-1 in February. Under new manager Marink Reedijk, who took charge following David Gray, Hibernian aim to extend that sequence.

Our model leans towards a Hibernian win

Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards a Hibernian win. While Hibernian arrive without Obita, Megwa, Ivezić, and Bushiri, their away return of two wins from three matches and their five-game unbeaten run against Dundee Utd support the call, set against Dundee Utd's winless record in three home league matches this season.
