4th position in the Premiership table for Aberdeen so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 6th-placed Hibernian visits Pittodrie Stadium.
It's no vacation for neither Aberdeen nor Hibernian as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
