Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Pittodrie Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Aberdeen and Hibernian. The Dons aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Rangers, with the team eyeing their sixth consecutive win in front of home fans. Midfielder Callum Roberts remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. The opposition back-line should have Cape Verde forward Duk at bay.
The Hibs, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over St. Mirren. Lee Johnson’s men, on the other hand, aim to climb to the Conference League berth. Considering that the visitors will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Jake Doyle-Hayes limped off with injury in the last league match, with Josh Campbell likely to step up. You should know that 15 goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Team (Hibernian):
Founded in August 1875, Hibernian are the Scottish Premier League team that play home matches at Easter Road. The capacity of the venue is 20,421, and it was opened in 1893. The Hibs wear light green shirts with white sleeves and white shorts in home matches, while light grey is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Hibernian clinched their first Scottish league trophy back in the 1902/03 season, and they were the dominant force in Scottish football in the early 50s, securing three titles more from 1948 to 1952. The Easter Road outfit recorded their biggest win on September 3, 1881, with the team rolling over Black Watch Highlanders 22-1.
In February 1961, the Hibs suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history as they were beaten by Airdrie 11-1. Hibernian and Hearts face each other in the Edinburgh derby. The rivalry between the two clubs is considered one of the oldest rivalries in world football.
