Hibernian vs Aberdeen: Aberdeen to win
Aberdeen’s 44.8% win probability eclipses Hibernian’s 27.7% chance, making the visitors the clear favourite. The model’s xG gap of 0.35 further underlines the edge.
Both sides come into the game with contrasting recent form – Hibernian have flirted with a two‑win streak but then slipped, while Aberdeen have struggled to find the net on the road.
Hamish's Verdict
The model assigns Aberdeen a 44.8% chance of victory, the strongest single outcome among the three possibilities.
Show the maths
With Hibernian averaging 1.0 expected goals and Aberdeen averaging 1.35, the model gives a 53.2% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 46.8% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.4 (Hibernian 1.0 + Aberdeen 1.35) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 58.3% chance against 41.7% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Hibernian at 27.7%, the draw at 27.5%, and Aberdeen at 44.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 12.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.

Hibernian
Hibernian have recorded a win 2-1 over Rangers away and another 2-1 win versus Dundee away, but then fell 1-3 at home to Hearts of Midlothian and 1-2 away to St Johnstone. The two wins show they can score, yet the two recent losses, especially the home defeat, highlight a vulnerability that dampens their win odds here.
Aberdeen
Aberdeen opened with a 2-1 home win over Hearts of Midlothian, then endured a 0-2 loss at Dundee, a 0-1 home defeat to Rangers, a 0-3 away loss to Celtic, and a 0-0 home draw with Kilmarnock. Four of the last five games produced zero goals for Aberdeen, underscoring a dry spell that makes a clean‑sheet likely but also limits their scoring threat.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, Aberdeen have won twice (2-0 on 11 Apr 2026 and 1-0 on 26 Apr 2025) while Hibernian have triumphed three times, the latest being a 2-0 win on 30 Dec 2025. The head‑to‑head record leans slightly toward Hibs, but the model still favours Aberdeen this time.
