Aberdeen form and stats

When playing at home in the Premiership, Aberdeen have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 14 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Aberdeen who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Dundee, 83 days ago.

Aberdeen haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 254 minutes ago. Edwards (own goal) scored that one.

No payout for Aberdeen in their previous match, an away game at Rangers that ended in defeat 0-1. Gallagher was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.65 out of 10. The defender Gallagher won 4 of 7 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Aberdeen lost 0-2 at Hearts's place.

The Aberdeen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. 15 goals have been conceded. When Aberdeen hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like St. Mirren, Dundee and St. Johnstone), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Hibernian form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hibernian so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-6 (win-draw-lose). The last three matches for Hibernian have all ended in a draw.

Doyle-Hayes was the last player to score for the away team. Hibernian haven't scored a league goal in the last 282 minutes. 393 minutes! That's how long the Hibernian goalkeeper Maciej Kevin Dabrowski and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against St. Johnstone in the Premiership.

The attacking power of Hibernian when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Hibernian have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
