Hibernian bounced back emphatically with a 3-0 victory over Ross County in their last fixture, scoring in all five of their matches this campaign. Aberdeen have displayed severe attacking limitations, failing to find the net in four of their five outings and remaining goalless in both away league fixtures so far. In head-to-head clashes at Easter Road, Hibernian have claimed victory in three of the last five meetings. Backing the hosts to take at least a point covers the likely outcomes given Aberdeen's lack of offensive punch away from home.

Match preview
Hibernian welcome Aberdeen to Easter Road in round seven of the Scottish Premiership, with both sides looking to pull clear of the lower reaches of the table. Hibernian sit ninth on six points, just one point behind eighth-placed Aberdeen.
Hibernian enter the contest following a comprehensive 3-0 away win against Ross County. While their league scoring rate has been steady at 1.4 goals per match, their defensive record remains a concern having conceded nine goals across five fixtures. Aberdeen, meanwhile, have found goals exceptionally hard to come by, failing to score in four of their five matches and generating an average of just 0.4 goals per game.
Aberdeen have struggled on their travels with two defeats from two away trips and zero goals scored on the road. With Hibernian winning three of the last five head-to-head encounters played on home turf, the hosts hold an edge in recent home meetings against the Dons.
