History of the Aberdeen v Hibernian fixture

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2002, with Hibernian inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Dons in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Dons's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Hibernian's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Hibees have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 14 matches. Hibernian see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 16 points from their 14 games played so far,
