Aberdeen vs Hibernian Predictions

• Aberdeen have won seven of their previous eight home games across all competitions.
• Hibernian have suffered defeat in four of their last five matches.
• Aberdeen can leapfrog Hibernian in the table with a win.

Top four clash gets underway

Two of the top four in the Scottish top flight go head-to-head as fourth place Aberdeen welcomes third place Hibernian to Pittodrie Stadium on Friday. The Dons have been fantastic on home soil this term having won four of their five league matches at this venue and what’s even more impressive is that only Rangers have scored more home goals than Aberdeen, despite Jim Goodwin’s side playing two fewer less matches.

The visitors have heavily relied on their home form already this season with 14 of their 20 points coming when playing the role of hosts. Unfortunately, their away record could use some improvement as from the 18 points available, Hibernian have only managed to take six in their road matches. They have lost their last two trips to this ground and there’s a good chance that they could lose once again here.

Home win looks a likely outcome

Hibernian look a little fragile when they’re on their travels and drastic improvement is required if they’re to trouble this free-scoring Aberdeen side. The hosts were swept aside away to Rangers last time out, but back on home soil, they should have what it takes to earn the win.
