Hibernian form and stats

4-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Premiership numbers at home for Hibernian so far this season.

A strong away win for Hibernian against St. Mirren the last match, as Martin Boyle and Ryan Porteous were on target. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Dundee United.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hibernian perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hibernian as a small favourite), we find eight games. Hibernian has won one of these, drawn four and lost three.

Hibernian are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. 17 goals have been conceded.

Aberdeen form and stats

4-6-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Aberdeen in their Premiership matches away. Aberdeen has drawn their two previous away games.

The attacking players of Aberdeen have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 283 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premiership home defeat versus Livingston with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Livingston.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Aberdeen in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Aberdeen, four draws and one defeat.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Hibernian victory, three draws and six Aberdeen wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
