Hibernian welcome Shkendija to Easter Road on August 6th for their UEFA Europa Conference League encounter, with both sides looking to kickstart their European campaigns. Hibs enter the tie with a mixed bag of recent results, recording one win, one draw, and two losses in their last four outings, scoring and conceding eight goals in that period. Their 25% win rate highlights a need for consistency.
Shkendija, meanwhile, arrive in Scotland with a concerning run of form, having secured just one victory from their last five matches, alongside four defeats. Their struggles in front of goal are evident, netting only four times while conceding ten across their last eight fixtures, mirroring Hibs' 25% win rate from a larger sample.
The bookmakers favour the home side heavily at 1.5, reflecting Shkendija's poor away form and Hibs' European pedigree. The goal market suggests a tighter affair, with Under 2.5 goals priced slightly lower at 1.8 than Over 2.5 at 1.9. Watch for Hibs to try and exploit Shkendija's leaky defence, while the visitors will likely aim to keep things tight and hit on the counter, making the opening goal crucial.
