Hibernian set to win in Highlands in Betfred Cup clash
Hibees tend to raise game against better opposition
Betfred Cup
BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Friday
Hibernian can win in the Highlands and put a marker down for the season ahead.
Neil Lennon’s side travel to Dingwall to face a Ross County side who have hit the ground running in the Betfred Cup.
And you can be sure he’ll want to prove his Ladbrokes Championship winners have got what it takes to compete in the top flight this season.
The addition of experienced Easter Road old boy Steven Whittaker adds to an already strong squad and he could make his bow.
County are no mugs and destroyed Montrose 6-0 – Hibs could beat them only 4-0. But the Hibees were in cruise control for much of the game and tend to raise their game against better opposition.
Recommendation
Hibernian
1pt 6-4 Betway, Sky Bet
