Hibernian vs Aberdeen Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Hibernian

WLLWDL

Hibernian will be hoping for a better result after the 0-3 Scottish Cup loss in their previous game against Hearts.

Josh Ginnelly (10'), Lawrence Shankland (72') and Toby Sibbick (96') scored for Hearts.

Matches with Hibernian have often been exciting ones lately with high scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past 6 clashes alone, the sum total of 23 goals have gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.83 goals per game) with 9 of them belonging to Hibernian. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Hibernian are without a win at home for the past 2 matches in the league.

Aberdeen

LDWLLL 📉

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Darvel in Scottish Cup competition, Aberdeen will be hoping to turn things around here.

Jordan Kirkpatrick (19') was the scorer for Darvel.

It is worth noting that Aberdeen have failed to get amongst the goals in their past six encounters, netting the poor return of only 4. In those fixtures, The Dons have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 10.

Their previous form shows that Aberdeen:

• have not emerged victorious against Hibernian when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not good.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of their most recent head to head meetings dating back to 23/10/2021 shows us that Hibernian have won 2 of them and Aberdeen 3, with the number of draws standing at 1.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Aberdeen should get enough chances to put a goal past this Hibernian lineup, although it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 advantage for Hibernian when the full-time whistle blows. Definitely a tough call.
