The friendly match between Hibernian and AFC Bournemouth will take place at Marbella Football Center on Thursday at 10:30 pm IST.
Hibernian and Bournemouth are set to begin their pre-season training by engaging in a friendly match at the Marbella Football Center this Thursday. In the previous season, Hibs secured a fifth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, while the Cherries comfortably finished 15th in the Premier League, five points clear of the relegation zone.
Hibernian’s performance in the 2022-23 season can be described as inconsistent, with periods of impressive unbeaten runs and extended winless stretches. The season started well for the Edinburgh club, winning five out of their first nine matches in the Scottish Premiership. They managed to turn things around between January and March, going on a seven-match unbeaten streak. After a series of four consecutive losses, manager Lee Johnson’s team finished the season strongly, losing only one of their final seven league matches. This strong finish secured them a fifth-place finish and a qualification spot for the Europa Conference League.
Despite successfully keeping Bournemouth in the Premier League last season, Gary O’Neil was dismissed as the club’s manager last month. He was replaced by Andoni Iraola, a Spanish coach known for his accomplishments at Rayo Vallecano. During the previous season, the Cherries endured a challenging campaign, losing 21 out of their 38 Premier League matches. They managed to secure 11 wins and six draws but had one of the highest goal concessions in the league, surpassed only by the bottom two teams, Southampton and Leeds United.
Hibernian probable starting lineup: Marshall, Cabraja, Fish, Hanlon, Stevenson, Jeggo, Cadden, Doyle-Hayes, Henderson, Youan, Le Fondre
AFC Bournemouth probable starting lineup: Neto, Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kelly, Cook, Billing, Kluivert, Christie, Ouattara, Solanke
