Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen and Hibernian face each other at Pittodrie Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Dons aim to put an end to their five-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Hibernian. Cape Verde forward Duk is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov remains in the recovery room. Jack MacKenzie is a major doubt.
Meanwhile, the visitors aim to build on a 3-1 win over Ross County. Hibernian are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Aberdeen’s attacking potential at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in the Scottish top flight the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Defender Nectarios Triantis is banned for the visiting team.
