Aberdeen Faces Hibs in Crucial Premiership Clash

Aberdeen are turning their focus to securing a third-place league finish and a European qualification spot after reaching the Scottish Cup final, though they face tough competition from Hibernian. Hibs have a strong recent record against Aberdeen, including two wins and a draw this season, and are riding a lengthy unbeaten streak that has boosted their European hopes. Both teams are in good form: Aberdeen are unbeaten in their last seven matches, while Hibs have won three consecutive league games by at least two goals and recently extended their unbeaten run to 17 games. The Dons, however, have struggled in recent league meetings with Hibs, managing just one win in their past nine encounters. As Aberdeen prepare for their Scottish Cup final against a dominant Celtic side, they will need to address defensive lapses exposed in their semi-final win over Hearts, as similar mistakes could prove costly against stronger opposition. The stakes are high for both Aberdeen and Hibs in their upcoming league clash, with European places on the line and a challenging finish to the season ahead.
