Hibernian F.C. vs Partick ThistlePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Easter Road opens the last 16 with Hibernian fresh from a European double header: 0-0 in North Macedonia and 2-1 at home against Shkendija, on top of a 2-1 win at Ibrox over Rangers. The same run also holds a 2-1 home defeat by Motherwell and a 4-1 against Malisheva, the only one of the five to pass three goals in total. Partick Thistle have not lost in five, but they have won only twice: 2-0 against Livingston and 1-0 at Morton, followed by three draws, 2-2 at Clydebank, 2-2 with Stenhousemuir and 1-1 with Livingston again. None of those five games went beyond four goals. The previous meetings are distant and equally contained: 2-0 and 3-1 for Hibernian at Easter Road, a 1-0 away win in December 2017, a 1-1 in May 2014 and a 3-1 for Partick in Glasgow that March. 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.
