Bitesize Prediction: Hibernian vs Aberdeen – 26/11/24

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

Looking to claim an immediate Premiership boost on Tuesday night, Aberdeen will travel to Easter Road when they meet Hibernian.

Starting with the hosts, while Hibernian might have opened up the new campaign with their sights set on booking a top-half return, David Gray’s men find themselves at the heart of a public Premiership crisis. Breaking a string of unwanted records this season, the Edinburgh-based outfit have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, the Greens have remarkably claimed just a single victory from any of their first 13 Premiership appearances. Marking their return from November’s international break with another nightmare display as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming away at Dundee FC, Hibernian have also claimed just a single win from any of their last eight top-flight showdowns. Heading into the fortnight interval with a 2-1 defeat at home against St. Mirren, Tuesday’s hosts have also shown some glaring defensive issues. Including a 3-2 loss against Dundee United last month, Gray’s downbeat squad have already shipped 22 Premiership strikes.

As for the visitors, suffering late frustration away at St. Mirren over the weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss, Aberdeen are seeking an immediate response here. Remarkably still sat just three points adrift of climbing to the top of the Premiership table, Jimmy Thelin’s men have continued to receive a string of plaudits from across Scotland’s elite. However, despite heading into November’s international break with a 4-1 romp at home against Dundee FC, Tuesday’s guests are also seeking their own recent defensive steel. Watching their League Cup adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they fell to a 6-0 drumming at the hands of Celtic, Aberdeen have mustered just a single clean sheet from any of their last eight showdowns across all competitions. With that run stemming all the way back to September 21st, Thelin’s men will be desperate to avoid Premiership banana skin in midweek. In a contest that tends to produce plenty of action, we are expecting another enjoyable battle here.
