Hibernian – Aberdeen

Hibernian host a struggling Aberdeen at Easter Road, hoping to climb out of the league’s lower tier where they sit 32nd with eight points from six games (two wins, two draws and two defeats, scoring eight and conceding seven). Aberdeen, currently 10th with four points (one win, one draw and three losses, netting only two goals while letting in seven), will be looking to reverse a poor start to the season. The stark contrast in goal difference – Hibernian’s +1 versus Aberdeen’s –5 – underscores the urgency for the visitors to find a breakthrough. Both sides will be keen to turn their fortunes around as the season reaches its decisive phase.
