Berwick Rangers vs Hibernian U21Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Shielfield Park stages a Challenge Cup tie between two sides who have picked up little in their last five. Berwick Rangers come in off a 0-2 at Broxburn Athletic and a 2-2 at Annan; at home they had lost 0-2 to Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic and 3-4 to Hearts U21, and the only win of the run is a 3-2 at home over Stirling University. Hibernian U21 have played all five of their most recent matches away from home, with three defeats, two of them by a single goal, 0-1 to Queen of the South and 0-1 to Gala Fairydean Rovers, plus a 0-4 to Clydebank, plus a 4-4 at Montrose and a 4-0 win over Peterhead. The numbers swing about, with three games finished without scoring and two in which they found the net four times. No previous meetings between the two sides are on record. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
