Aberdeen form and stats
1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premiership numbers at home for Aberdeen so far this season. It's trouble wherever Aberdeen are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
In their previous game, the manager S. Glass led his Aberdeen to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Dundee. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pittodrie Stadium. Jack Mackenzie was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.4 out of 10. The defender Mackenzie served one assist, hit two key passes and won 7 of 9 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against Celtic that was lost 1-2.This is expected to be a close game, with Aberdeen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aberdeen as a small favourite), we find two games. Aberdeen has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.
Aberdeen are traveling soon after this match as the Premiership match at Rangers awaits in four days.
Aberdeen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. On the other hand, Aberdeen have conceded 4 goals.
Hibernian form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premiership home defeat versus Dundee United with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Kevin Nisbet, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.1. Nisbet hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Rangers's place.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hibernian playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Hibernian wins, one draw and two defeats.
After this away game Hibernian return home for a Premiership game against Celtic. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Hibernian has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 6 goals from 4 games. Hibernian's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
