FootyMad's prediction ...
Aberdeen are not exactly setting the world alight at Pittodrie Stadium at the moment, but your FootyMad team are quietly confident that they can ease past Hibernian in this game. Home Win
Stand-Free's prediction ...
Despite the setback in the CIS Cup on Wednesday, Aberdeen were more than a match for Rangers and were well on top for most of the game. Hopefully that loss will provide a welcome kick up the arse for the Dons team, remind them that they are not the finished article, and see them home in this game. If they can get a goal from somewhere without their four first-choice strikers, it should be a home win.
