• Fixture: Hibernian vs Falkirk
• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Easter Road

Hibernian will be looking to bounce back after two consecutive losses, and their home form suggests they could do just that against Falkirk. With a predicted 3-4-1-2 formation, Hibs might focus on exploiting the wings with Cadden and Mulligan, while Chaiwa's creativity in midfield could unlock Falkirk's defence. Boyle and Bowie up top will be crucial in converting any chances created.

Falkirk, on the other hand, have been solid defensively, drawing their last two games without conceding. Their 4-2-3-1 setup could see them sit deep and look to hit Hibs on the counter, with Cartwright and Agyeman providing the attacking threat. However, their injury concerns might affect their performance, potentially giving Hibs the edge.

Hibernian's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. Their home form has been particularly strong, winning their last two home matches convincingly. However, the back-to-back losses against Celtic and Motherwell might have dented their confidence slightly, but they'll be eager to get back to winning ways at home.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Celtic (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Dundee (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs ST Mirren (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Livingston (A)

Falkirk have been in decent form, remaining unbeaten in their last five games with three draws and two wins. Their defensive solidity is evident, having not conceded in their last two matches. This run of form should give them confidence going into this match, although their injury list could pose a challenge.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs Motherwell (H)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Rangers (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs Dundee Utd (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Livingston (H)

• Predicted lineup: Sallinger (GK), O'Hora (DF), Bushiri (DF), Obita (DF), C. Cadden (MF), Mulligan (MF), Chaiwa (MF), Iredale (MF), McGrath (MF), Boyle (AT), Bowie (AT)

Hibernian's predicted 3-4-1-2 formation will likely see them control the midfield with Mulligan and Chaiwa, while Iredale and Cadden provide width on the flanks. Up front, Boyle and Bowie will be the focal points, looking to exploit any gaps in Falkirk's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Bain (GK), Allan (DF), Lissah (DF), Henderson (DF), McCann (DF), Spencer (MF), Tait (MF), Agyeman (MF), Cartwright (MF), Yeats (MF), Ogunsuyi (AT)

Falkirk's predicted 4-2-3-1 setup suggests a balanced approach, with Spencer and Tait anchoring the midfield. The attacking trio of Agyeman, Cartwright, and Ogunsuyi will look to exploit any space left by Hibs' attacking forays, while the back four will aim to keep things tight at the back.

• Bowie vs Henderson: Keith Bowie's pace and movement will test Liam Henderson's defensive capabilities.
• Mulligan vs Tait: Jake Mulligan's control in midfield will be crucial against Dylan Tait's tenacity.
• Chaiwa (Hibernian): Makenzie Chaiwa's creativity in midfield could be the key to unlocking Falkirk's defence.
• Cartwright (Falkirk): Henry Cartwright's ability to link play and create chances will be vital for Falkirk.
