- Hibs are in worse form than Aberdeen, but have the advantage of a draw in their last three league head-to-heads.
- Aberdeen have scored just five goals in those six games.
A close game on the cards
Aberdeen (7/5) are a solid team in Premiership 2026/2027, but they're not the most exciting on paper or in reality, so there's a touch of value in taking the visitors here in the match betting. Stephen Robinson's team have lost three and won two of their last five matches, with back-to-back defeats following a 3-1 home win against St Mirren.
Hibs have had a worse five-game period with three defeats, two draws and zero wins, but the last time these teams met in the Premiership 2026/2027, six weeks ago, the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw at Easter Road. That result means that Hibernian take none of the last three head-to-heads into this contest, but Aberdeen have won two of their previous three at home to Hibs.
Marink Reedijk's Dutch approach doesn't always sit comfortably with this Hibs squad, but they press higher up, play at a faster pace and win the ball back in more aggressive areas. Robinson's men are a more pragmatic outfit, keeping their shape, sitting deep and then looking to hurt teams on the break. So, a midfield battle and transition play could be where the game is won and lost, and Aberdeen have the home edge that could keep them in the contest.
Hibs can nick a result
The odds, which have the draw at 51/20, favour a tight game but Hibernian are live to grab a result at 42/25 as well. We're sticking with a home draw for Aberdeen, but the Dons are unlikely to pull away from Hibs too much at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday.
Kevin Nisbet is the danger man for the hosts, and he's the leading scorer in the 2026/2027 season for the team with four goals in seven games. Hibs will look to Martin Boyle, their own leading scorer with three goals in six games, but Owen Elding has provided a hot hand in recent weeks with two of his four goals in the league this term coming in their last five games.
Both teams to score at 13/20 should be a cracking bet for goals at both ends, while over 2.5 goals at 4/5 is also in the cards for a game that is likely to be open and lively.
