The Premiership season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Hibernian and Aberdeen promises to be an interesting one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Hibernian form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Hibernian's two home games in the Premiership so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Easter Road Stadium.
Hibernian are confident in defense, having played 300 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Hibernian, who won 1-0 against St. Johnstone (placed 8th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Motherwell.
The victory against St. Johnstone came after Stephen Mallan's winning goal. The Hibernian manager J. Ross was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 66th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Stephen Mallan scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hibernian have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from Hibernian's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Aberdeen form and stats
Only one away game in the Premiership so far for Aberdeen and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 6 draws and 4 losses from 15 travels.
Aberdeen had fun at their own home (Easter Road Stadium) last time out, beating Livingston 2-1. Scott Wright and Lewis Ferguson scored. Ahead of that match was the victory versus St. Johnstone at their stadium, the result 1-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Aberdeen in our archives, and the results are: one win for Aberdeen, three draws and one defeat.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Aberdeen has managed 1 goal and let in 0 from 1 match.
