Hibernian vs Aberdeen Prediction: Visitors will bounce back to winning ways

Scottish Premiership encounter moves to Easter Road, where Hibernian will play Aberdeen in a round 11 matchup. Both teams suffered a defeat in the previous week and will hope to do better here. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Hibernian suffered a heavy loss the previous weekend against Dundee FC and will hope to step up their game. In that encounter, Hibernian took the lead two minutes into the kickoff with Nicky Cadden netting. However, with Jordan Obita's red card in the 12th minute, Hibernian conceded three goals before the break before a 90+2 Curtis Main struck for Dundee. Heading into the game, Hibernian have failed to win any of their last eight matches, losing five and drawing three. With 8 points, Hibernian sit bottom of the standings, scoring 12 goals and conceding 22. 

Aberdeen played St. Mirren the last time out, losing 2-1. In that encounter, this team went behind in the 19th minute following Toyosi Olusanya’s brilliance. However, five minutes into the second half, Jamie McGrath put Aberdeen levelled before Richard Taylor in the 83rd minute, denying Aberdeen a point at full-time. Heading into this game, Aberdeen have lost two of their last five games, the first against Celtic in the cup. With 31 points, Aberdeen sit three points behind Celtic, leaving them second. 

Hibernian have struggled so much, and I do not expect any exceptional performance from them. While Aberdeen did not get things right last weekend, it is impossible to write them off, considering how competitive they have been all season. The two teams have to give their best after losing the previous weekend, but it will not be easy. However, Aberdeen look more trustworthy, and I expect them to win on the road. Also, with Hibernian being a threat in attack, looking at how they have consistently netted in their last matches regardless of the outcome, I expect the two teams to find the back of the net.
