Pittodrie hosts a nervy one on Saturday evening as Aberdeen vs Hibernian brings together two sides stuck in the bottom three of the Scottish Premiership.
Stephen Robinson's Aberdeen are reeling after back-to-back single-goal defeats, at home to Falkirk in the league and against Rangers at Hampden in the Scottish League Cup.
Hibernian prop up the table and are winless in their last 8 Premiership matches. Beating Hearts 2-1 at Hampden in the Scottish League Cup has given Marink Reedijk a badly needed lift.
Aberdeen sit just three points clear of Hibs, which makes this a proper six-pointer. The visitors shade the previous meetings, with three wins to Aberdeen's two.
Aberdeen vs Hibernian Form
Aberdeen's form is grim. Losing to Falkirk at Pittodrie was bad enough, and Hampden heartache against Rangers in the Scottish League Cup followed. The Dons have won just 1 of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Kevin Nisbet remains the bright spot: across his latest 6 Premiership appearances, he has scored or assisted in 4.
Hibernian's league form has them propping up the table, but the Hearts win at Hampden has changed the mood. Martin Boyle and Jamie McGrath scored as Hibs came from behind. They have won 2 of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Owen Elding adds a threat, finding the net in 2 of his 3 most recent league games in the Premiership.
Aberdeen vs Hibernian Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Aberdeen: Emmanuel Gyamfi (doubtful), Kristers Tobers (doubtful), Chris Cadden (doubtful)
Hibernian: Rocky Bushiri (doubtful), Jordan Obita (doubtful), Nathan Lowe (doubtful), Kanayo Megwa (doubtful)
Aberdeen
Stephen Robinson rang the changes last time out, with Jack Milne coming in for the suspended Dan Happe and Nicky Devlin replacing the injured Chris Cadden at right-back. Cadden, Emmanuel Gyamfi and Kristers Tobers are all doubts, so Stuart Armstrong is in line to return on the left. The big call in the Aberdeen vs Hibernian lineups is whether Ayoub Mouloua keeps his place alongside Kevin Nisbet or the Dons go back to a lone striker.
Hibernian
Marink Reedijk made just one change for the Hearts win, with Martin Boyle replacing Nicky Cadden to join Jamie McGrath and Owen Elding in attack. The back four stayed intact and Josh Mulligan drove the engine room. Rocky Bushiri, Jordan Obita, Nathan Lowe and Kanayo Megwa are all doubtful.

Aberdeen vs Hibernian Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Aberdeen 1-2 Hibernian. There is barely anything between these sides, but the Hearts win has given Hibs a lift and finishing chances remains a real weakness for Aberdeen. Our Aberdeen vs Hibernian prediction is a narrow away win, with goals at both ends. Hibs are 7/4 with AK Bets, a fair price for a side with fresh momentum.
Best Bets
Martin Boyle Over 2.5 in the Player Shots market. He is expected to start on Hibernian's right of the attacking three. Boyle is the first of our Aberdeen vs Hibernian best bets, returning to a Hibs front line that likes to cross and play in the opposition half, and Aberdeen will have to come out at home. The projections rate it at 69.49%. That is well clear of the roughly 48% implied probability in the best price.
Kevin Nisbet to score at any time in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He is Aberdeen's expected lead striker. The projections point to 2.78 goals with both teams scoring, so Aberdeen still find the net even in defeat. Against Hibernian in the Premiership, Nisbet has netted in 2 of his previous 3 appearances, and he is the obvious man to provide it.
Aberdeen vs Hibernian Bet Builder
If you fancy the hosts, our Aberdeen vs Hibernian bet builder tips pair an Aberdeen win with Lewis Mayo carded, Kevin Nisbet shots and Ayoub Mouloua on target, at 12/1 with Bet365.
Lewis Mayo to be shown a card is the sturdiest leg. Referees have booked him 5 times across his latest 6 appearances in the Premiership, and this fixture rarely stays tidy.
Kevin Nisbet over 2.5 shots suits a side that crosses often and shoots from distance. Recent Premiership games have seen him attempt 3+ shots in five of the six.
Aberdeen to win is the leg that drives the price. Hibs are winless in their last 8 Premiership matches. The Dons have also had 15+ shots in each of their last 4 Premiership matches.
Ayoub Mouloua over 0.5 shots on target rounds it off. He has tested the goalkeeper in 5 of 7 recent Premiership matches, but is absent from the probable XI.

Aberdeen vs Hibernian Talking Points
Marink Reedijk is the story. Appointed in September, he finally got his first competitive win in charge against Hearts, and now needs to turn that lift into league points. Stephen Robinson has no such cushion, with the pressure building at Pittodrie after back-to-back defeats. The Aberdeen vs Hibernian betting odds still lean slightly towards the hosts at 8/5 with Bet365, which looks short for a side that struggles to finish their chances. Hibs defend set pieces well, which blunts one of Aberdeen's best weapons, and their through balls give them a way in behind.
