Laszlo wary of Hibs threat

After losing their appeal against centre-half Chris Hogg's weekend red card, Easter Road manager Mixu Paatelainen takes his side to Tynecastle with a total of four players suspended, as Rob Jones, Sol Bamba and Colin Nish are also serving bans.Hibs have also been struck by injury problems for a game in which they are more or less playing for pride.In comparison, Hearts can call on a near-full strength team for the match as they look to cement third place and a Europa League slot.However, Laszlo is not taking any notice of his Hibs counterpart's problems.He said: "Every team has problems. Against Rangers we had Lee Wallace and Ruben Palazuelos out, we played a good game but didn't have the best result."It's not a usual game, it's a derby and you have two aspects. We have the prestige and route to Europe."For Hibs, I think it's more prestige."After they lost the game to Dundee United, I think they would like to win."Their chance is not so big to qualify for Europe but the prestige is high to beat your city rivals."We lost the last game at Easter Road 1-0."They will begin with 11 players on the field and we will try to play the football we played against Rangers but create more chances."There is little to choose between the Edinburgh adversaries this season, with a win apiece and two draws already having been fought out in all competitions.Hearts' push for third place has been based on having a physical spine to their team but Laszlo has rejected any notion Hibs are technically superior.He added: "I don't agree with this, definitely not."If you compare the two teams and you compare the games we've play, I don't think they got one over on us at any point, physically, technically or tactically."Are Hibs a bad team? This season, I don't think they have been better than my team." Hearts v Hibernian. Click here to bet.
