Our predictions for Aberdeen vs Hibernian
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
