Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Easter Road will host a postponed Premiership game between Hibernian and Aberdeen, the two sides sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Hibs are stuck at the bottom of the table with only eight points on their account, meaning that they are desperate to grab something from Tuesday’s clash. Kieran Bowie, though, misses out with injury and given Jordan Obita’s suspension, home win should not be considered.
The Dons, on the other hand, are enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in second place in the standings, only three points behind league leaders Celtic. Even though Aberdeen suffered a 2-1 loss to St. Mirren at the weekend, away win should be considered as they are more of a team than the rock-bottom hosts. Pape Habib Gueye is sidelined with injury for the away team, while Sivert Heltne Nilsen faces race against the clock to be fit for Tuesday’s showdown.
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.
