Hibernian - Falkirk
Hibernian and Falkirk clash at Easter Road Stadium
Ante Suto remains the focal point for Hibernian as they look to rediscover their attacking rhythm on 17 October 2026. The forward is expected to lead the line in a side currently navigating a difficult patch, having suffered a narrow defeat to Dundee United in their most recent Premiership outing. With the support of Callum Wright and Josh Mulligan in midfield, Hibernian will aim to make the most of home advantage at Easter Road Stadium to arrest a slide that has seen them struggle for consistency throughout the early stages of this campaign.
Falkirk arrive in search of stability after their own recent setback against Dundee FC. The visitors have shown resilience in tight encounters, including a draw against St. Johnstone and a notable victory over Heart of Midlothian. With Jacob Murrell expected to spearhead their attack, Falkirk will look to exploit any defensive vulnerabilities in the home ranks. Given the competitive history between these two sides, including a 3-1 win for Hibernian in their last meeting, this matchday 9 fixture promises a tightly contested battle for crucial points.
