Points to improve their positions
Aberdeen and Hibernian meet at Pittodrie with both sides needing points to improve their positions in the Premiership. Aberdeen are 10th of 12 with 11 points after 11 matches; Hibernian are 12th on eight. The three-point gap makes this a valuable opportunity for either side to gain ground.
Recent struggles on both sides
Aberdeen have lost their last two league matches and have managed one win, one draw and three defeats across their last five, scoring six goals and conceding seven. Their home record offers some encouragement: two wins, a draw and three defeats in six league games, with five goals scored and five conceded.
Hibernian are without a win in eight league matches. Their last five brought two draws and three defeats, with four goals scored and seven conceded. Away from home, however, they have taken two wins and a draw from five matches, alongside two defeats.
Recent meetings have been tight
The last five meetings are evenly split, with two wins apiece and one draw. The most recent finished 1-1 at Hibernian in September. Four of those five games featured two goals or fewer, suggesting a close contest could be in prospect.
Players to watch
Aberdeen have scored 12 league goals overall, including five in six home matches. Their home scoring record gives them a route to put pressure on Hibernian, although they have scored six times across their last five matches.
Hibernian have scored 11 goals in the league and six in five away matches. Their away wins show they can make an impact on the road, but they have not kept a clean sheet in 11 league games, leaving defensive improvement an important part of their challenge.
Our prediction
Aberdeen’s home record is a reason to expect resistance, but Hibernian’s away results are more encouraging than their overall position suggests. PreviaXI’s model leans narrowly towards the visitors, with a low-scoring match the likeliest outcome.
