Hibernian vs Raith Rovers match preview
Following a famous night in Switzerland in mid-week, can Hibernian come back down to earth and avoid an upset in this League Cup tie?
On Thursday, Hibs were at Swissporarena, taking on Luzern, looking to maintaing their 3-1 lead from the first leg a week earlier.
Well, the Hibees made the perfect start when Élie Youan’s shot flew into the top corner, only for the Swiss side to fight back, going in front on the night mid-way through the second half.
Nevertheless, those who’d made the pilgrimage from Edinburgh were celebrating shortly after; Youan burst down the left, pulled the ball back for Martin Boyle who finished cooly.
2-2 it finished, thereby securing a 5-3 aggregate victory, and Hibs’ reward is a Europa Conference League play-off round date with Aston Villa, with the first leg to come on Wednesday.
Domestically, Lee Johnson’s side have actually lost both matches this season, beaten by St Mirren and then Motherwell, so could an upset be on the cards in Leith?
Raith Rovers meantime are aiming to reach the League Cup quarter-finals for the second time in just three seasons, having dumped out Aberdeen in this round two years ago.
Ian Murray’s men got through as a best-ranked group runner-up, beaten in their opener by Fife rivals Dunfermline on penalties, before victories over Albion Rovers, Kilmarnock on penalties and then Annan.
Given that Raith also have four points on the board after two Championship games, holding Partick Thistle to a draw before beating Morton 3-2, they’ll arrive in the capital hopeful of springing a surprise.
Distracted by European commitments, could Hibs be vulnerable to a cup shock?
