Hibernian v Aberdeen

Hibernian vs Aberdeen Preview

Hibernian's poor start to the Scottish Premiership season continued on Saturday when they were dealt a heavy 4-1 thrashing away from home at Dundee which resulted in the hosts remaining bottom of the table, while Aberdeen suffered their first defeat of this season's campaign as The Dons were handed a 2-1 loss on the road at St Mirren.

Aside from a rare 2-0 home win against St Johnstone, Hibernian have had very little to cheer about so far this season as the hosts sit rock bottom of the Scottish Premiership table having been involved in five draws but also finding themselves on the losing side on seven occasions as well.

Since their solitary home win, Hibs have failed to win any of their subsequent eight games overall in the domestic top flight which includes slipping to five defeats as well, losing against the likes of Rangers, Motherwell, Dundee United, St Mirren and the aforementioned weekend loss away at Dundee.

The bigger picture doesn't exactly instil much confidence in Hibs either as David Gray's side have managed to capture just three wins within their previous 21 games overall in the Scottish Premiership including being handed 11 defeats in the process.

In addition, Hibernian have registered just two wins in their last 10 home games at Easter Road.

Aberdeen's impressive and unbeaten start to this season's Scottish Premiership campaign was finally brought to an end by a 2-1 loss away from home at St Mirren and the visitors hit the road again for Tuesday night's clash against the basement dwellers, Hibernian.

Nevertheless, having collected no fewer than 10 wins within their opening 12 matches of this new campaign, Aberdeen will still feel confident about their chances for this upcoming encounter at Easter Road especially as The Dons have tasted defeat just once so far this season.

Three of Aberdeen's 10 wins have also been achieved on their travels with wins picked up at St Johnstone, Ross County and Dundee respectively, while the bigger picture shows Jimmy Thelin's side have suffered just that solitary loss within their previous 21 matches overall in the Scottish top flight.

Results away from home have also benefitted from Aberdeen's recent resurgence in the Scottish Premiership as The Dons have lost just once in their last nine games on the road, picking up five wins in the process, along with keeping four clean sheets during this period as well.

Hibernian v Aberdeen Verdict

The previous meeting between Hibernian and Aberdeen resulted in a resounding 4-0 win way from home at Easter Road for Aberdeen and whilst this upcoming clash may be a little tighter, the visitors look the most likely to take the spoils in a bid to return to winning ways on Tuesday night.

Therefore, our main bet will be Aberdeen win @ 2.80
