Hibernian v Aberdeen Betting Tips [23 December 2021]

Hibernian host Aberdeen at Easter Road on Matchday nineteen of the Scottish Premiership. While the hosts are placed seventh in the twelve-team league with twenty-three points from the first eighteen games, the visitors are one place up at sixth in the league standings with twenty-four points from their first eighteen games. Hibernian come into the game with a home defeat to Celtic in the League Cup with a 2-1 scoreline. They have won just once in their six matches. Hibernian have been a side that has conceded a few number of goals but also have not scored enough goals to win matches and thus find themselves down the pecking order. They have had under 2.5 goals in five out of their last six matches and also have scored less than two goals in five out of their last six fixtures.

Aberdeen are on a three-game winning streak at the moment after ending a three-game losing streak in the middle of the league. They come into the game with a 1-0 away win over Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership. Much like Hibernian, Aberdeen also have scored fewer goals than required. They have scored less than two goals in five out of their last seven matches and also have had under 2.5 goals in four out of their last six matches. Interestingly, the last five meetings between Hibernian and Aberdeen also have had under 2.5 goals.

Both the teams are under a similar run of form and have been struggling to get enough points on the board. While they seem to be not keeping clean sheets, they certainly have not conceded a lot of goals. They have not scored a lot of goals either. We are going for over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
