Aberdeen prepare to visit Hibernian at Easter Road on Thursday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, winning 51.59% of the games played between the two. Aberdeen are unbeaten in the last seven games against the Hibees.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road was less than three weeks ago, on the second of January 2007, and the SPL game ended in a dour 0-0 draw.

The replay at Pittodrie saw Aberdeen's only defeat to Hibernian at home in the Scottish Cup when Jim Leighton, in between his two spells with Aberdeen, inspired Hibernian to a penalty shoot-out win.
