Dundee vs Hibernian: Over 2.5 goals
Both sides boast an expected 2.0 goals each, flagging a match primed for plenty of scoring. The model puts the over‑2.5 goal line at 76.1%, the clearest edge of any market here.
Dundee host Hibernian at Dens Park with both clubs averaging two goals per game this season. Neither side has a defensive record to curb that output – Dundee keep a clean sheet at home, while Hibs concede just once on the road.
Hamish's Verdict
The total expected goals of four, plus a 76.1% model probability for over‑2.5, makes a high‑scoring game the most likely outcome.

Dundee
Dundee’s last three league outings include a 0‑1 loss at Celtic, followed by back‑to‑back 2‑0 victories over Aberdeen (home) and Dundee United (away). Scoring two goals in each win demonstrates a potent attack that is likely to add to the goal tally here.
Hibernian
Hibernian dropped a 1‑2 game to Motherwell at home but bounced back with a 2‑1 away win at Rangers. Both results involve at least three goals, showing they can both score and be part of high‑scoring affairs, reinforcing the over‑2.5 outlook.
