Aberdeen FC will look to carry the momentum from a dominant away win into their Scottish Premiership trip to face Hibernian this Saturday. The Dons travel to Easter Road sitting eighth in the table with seven points from their opening six matches, a position they will be eager to improve upon.
Their confidence will be high after a comprehensive 4-0 victory at Motherwell last weekend. Goals from Gavin Molloy, Connor Ronan, Ayoub Mouloua and Kevin Nisbet sealed the result, with Nisbet now the club's top scorer this season with two goals in six appearances. That performance marked a significant upturn from a run of two draws and two defeats in their previous four league outings.
Hibernian, currently ninth, have had an inconsistent start themselves, losing their last home game 1-0 to Kilmarnock. The Easter Road side's recent form shows a mix of results, including a 3-0 win at Ross County but also defeats to Hearts and St Johnstone.
Barry Robson's Aberdeen side are expected to stick with a 5-3-2 shape that served them well at Fir Park, with Nisbet and Toluwalase Olusanya likely to lead the line again.

The match kicks off at 3pm local time on Saturday, 19 September.
