Hibernian vs Aberdeen tips and predictions

Winning mentality likely key for Hibernian

This looks like one of those encounters where Hibernian do just enough to get the job done and they're sure to face some resistance from this Aberdeen outfit.

You'll have your own opinion but Hibernian might have reasons to be confident about adding to Aberdeen's woes. On the road the visitors have not always been at the races; they've lost 6 of their last 7 away trips. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't stand out as the record of a confident team.

This home team is in a bit of a run of form on their own paddock. Hibs scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 15 home matches.

Away from home Aberdeen have conceded an average of 2.6 goals in their last 10 matches. Their critics might be more concerned about the recent slump at the other end of the pitch though. Goal scoring chances are proving elusive for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 7 away matches.

Obviously these sides have done battle before. Hibernian have won 4 of the last 8 fixtures between the two teams. Going back to their previous meetings the head-to-head stats could be an indication of what will unfold.

A less optimistic outlook is that they may end up with parity. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. The No BTTS bet seems prudent. As far as the total goals line goes, it's more than three goals standing out in this one after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.
