Aberdeen and Hibernian set for a thriller

BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Friday

Aberdeen and Hibernian have been heading in opposite directions recently, but the Easter Road side's desperation to get back on track could lead to a decent game at Pittodrie.

Derek McInnes' side have had a profitable habit recently of being outplayed for large chunks of the game and still winning, as Rangers and Kilmarnock found out.

Hibs meanwhile are in something of a mini slump after taking only one point from their last three games, including a shock home defeat to St Johnstone last week.

The Dons don't tend to score a lot of goals, but Hibs will want to end their blip and push on, which could create spaces and chances.
