History of the Aberdeen v Hibernian fixture

Hibernian face a trip to Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hibees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, with Aberdeen running out comfortable 3 - 1 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
