Aberdeen face a trip to Hibernian at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 137 games played, Dons have recorded 43 wins, and Hibernian have come away with 55 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just one and draw two of the last six. While Hibees have scored six, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on three occasions, but drawing one and losing two. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Dons, and three goals against.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 18 points from 24 matches. Aberdeen lie just outside the European positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 29 from their 25 games so far.
