• Venue: Pittodrie Stadium

Match Prediction: Aberdeen 2-1 Hibernian

Aberdeen's recent form shows they can be lethal at home, smashing Dundee 4-0 and beating St. Mirren 1-0 away. They'll look to exploit their attacking prowess, especially with Karlsson and Nisbet in attack.

Hibs have been inconsistent but showed they can score, drawing 3-3 with Dundee United and thrashing Livingston 4-0. This match could be a high-scoring affair if Hibs bring their A-game, but Aberdeen's home advantage might tip the scales.

Hibs will need to be solid at the back to contain Aberdeen's forwards. If they can keep it tight like they did against Celtic, they stand a chance. But Aberdeen's recent losses away from home suggest they might be vulnerable if Hibs can press early and score. It's going to be a close one, but Aberdeen's home form could be the deciding factor.

Aberdeen have been solid at home, with a convincing 4-0 win over Dundee and a gritty 1-0 victory against St. Mirren. Their away form has been less impressive, losing to Motherwell and Dundee United. However, home advantage could be crucial against Hibs. If they can continue their decent home form, they'll be tough to beat.

Hibs have had a mixed bag recently, with a strong 4-0 win over Livingston but also a loss to Hearts and several draws. Their ability to score goals is evident, but they need to tighten up at the back. If they can find the right balance, they could challenge Aberdeen. But their inconsistency might be their downfall.

• Predicted lineup: Mitov (GK), Devlin (DF), Milne (DF), Knoester (DF), Jensen (MF), Shinnie (MF), Armstrong (MF), Molloy (MF), Aouchiche (AT), Nisbet (AT), Karlsson (AT)

Aberdeen's predicted lineup shows a strong attacking trio of Aouchiche, Nisbet, and Karlsson, which could exploit Hibs' defensive vulnerabilities. The midfield, led by Shinnie and Armstrong, will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo.

• Predicted lineup: Sallinger (GK), Hanley (DF), O'Hora (DF), Iredale (DF), C. Cadden (MF), Mulligan (MF), Barlaser (MF), N. Cadden (MF), McGrath (AT), Bowie (AT), Klidjé (AT)

Hibs' predicted lineup features a solid defensive trio of Hanley, O'Hora, and Iredale, which will be key in containing Aberdeen's forwards. The midfield, with Mulligan and Barlaser, needs to be disciplined to disrupt Aberdeen's rhythm.

• Karlsson vs Iredale: This will be a crucial battle between Aberdeen's dynamic forward and Hibs' sturdy defender.
• Jensen vs Barlaser: A midfield duel to watch, with Jensen's creativity up against Barlaser's tenacity.
• Molloy (Aberdeen): Molloy's energy out wide could be vital for Aberdeen, driving the team forward.
• Mulligan (Hibernian): Mulligan's versatility in midfield could be key for Hibs, helping both in attack and defence.
