Hibernian vs Rangers Prediction: A tough encounter is expected

Rangers are set to visit Easter Road on Sunday for a Scottish Cup quarter-final clash against Hibernian. In the current edition of the competition, the visitors have successfully navigated past Dumbarton and Ayr United. Meanwhile, Hibernian secured victories in their away trips to Forfar Athletic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Hibernian is aiming for another victory following their recent success, a 2-0 Premiership win against Ross County. In that match, Hibernian dominated with 64% possession and registered 14 attempts at goal, with 6 on target. The goal-scorers for Hibernian were Myziane Maolida (59') and Dylan Levitt (86'). On the opposing side, Ross County managed 4 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.

Notably, Hibernian has been consistently scoring, finding the back of the net in each of their last 6 matches. During this period, they have scored a total of 11 goals while conceding 7. 

In their recent Europa League fixture, Rangers played to a 2-2 draw against Benfica. Despite having 32% possession, Rangers managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 of them on target. The goals for Rangers were scored by Tom Lawrence (7'), Dujon Sterling (45'), and unfortunately, Connor Goldson (67') scored an own goal. On the other side, Benfica had 24 attempts at goal, with 5 on target, and Ángel Di María (45') found the back of the net.

Looking at Rangers' recent performance, they have been prolific in front of goal, amassing a total of 16 goals in their previous six outings. Importantly, they have consistently scored in every one of those games. However, it's worth noting that their defenders have conceded 4 own goals during this period.

Rangers currently contend with a reduced squad and likely fatigue following a commendable effort in midweek. However, Clement's team is fueled by momentum and a strong desire to succeed on all fronts. The expectation is for Rangers to emerge victorious at Easter Road and secure a spot in the final four of the Scottish Cup. Despite Hibernian's commendable performances leading up to this stage, there is confidence that they will manage to score in this encounter.
