Key factors behind our tip
Hibernian are marginal favourites at 2.64 (Matchbook), implying about a 38% chance of victory, just ahead of Hearts at 2.82 (Betfair) with roughly 35% implied.
The draw at 3.5 (Coolbet) implies close to a 29% probability, keeping all three match-result outcomes within a tight range.
The combined implied probabilities exceed 100% by around 1.9%, reflecting normal bookmaker overround rather than a genuine edge for backers.
The model's recommended Under 2.5 Goals bet at 2.0 (Matchbook) carries only 48% implied confidence and a negative value edge of -3.09%, meaning the model itself does not see this as a clear-cut value play.
No match-result selection cleared the site's value threshold, so there are no standout picks flagged against market consensus for this derby.

Hibernian vs Hearts: pre-match preview
Hibernian host Hearts in a Scottish Premiership derby where the betting market sees very little separating the two sides. Best-priced odds have Hibernian as narrow favourites at 2.64 with Matchbook, which implies a win probability of roughly 38%, just ahead of Hearts at 2.82 with Betfair (around 35% implied). The draw, priced at 3.5 with Coolbet, carries an implied probability near 29%, underlining how tightly matched this fixture is on paper. With no side commanding a clear edge in the win market, attention shifts to the goals markets, where our model highlights Under 2.5 Goals at 2.0 with Matchbook as its recommended angle, albeit with a modest 48% confidence level and a slightly negative value edge. This is a fixture that looks competitive rather than one-sided, and the pricing reflects that balance across all three outcomes.
Verdict: The recommended play is Under 2.5 Goals at 2.0 with Matchbook, but with only 48% model confidence and a negative -3.09% edge, this sits closer to a speculative lean than a strong value bet. The match-result market itself is essentially a three-way toss-up, so caution and modest stakes are advisable.
How it settled: the tip did not land — the match finished 1-3, for a flat-stake return of -1.00 units. Every tip we publish is archived before kick-off and graded against the final score; nothing is edited or deleted afterwards.
