Hibernian vs Motherwell Prediction & Tips | Premiership | FootballTips.app

Two of last season's top five teams in the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership - Hibernian and Motherwell - meet on the opening weekend of the 2026/27 campaign at Easter Road on Sunday afternoon.

Hibernian were humiliated in Kosovo against Malisheva, losing the away leg 2-0, before overturning the tie and advancing into the next round of Europa Conference League qualification. Hibs are hopeful that they can reach the group stage of a European competition for the first time in their history, simultaneously competing at the right end of the league table and in both domestic cup competitions.

Motherwell successfully came back from the Faroe Islands with a 3-0 victory, beating HB Torshavn 5-0 on aggregate following a 2-0 win at Fir Park, on Thursday night. Like their weekend opponents, they are hoping to fly the flag in continental competition alongside moving closer to the Scottish Premiership top three places and fighting for domestic honours in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup.

Hibernian failed to beat Motherwell in their four league meetings last season, with the Well aiming to extend their unbeaten run against the Hibees from January 2025 to five matches.
