Aberdeen FC will look to translate a thumping away win into consistent Premiership form when they visit Hibernian at Easter Road this Saturday. The Dons sit eighth in the table with seven points from six games, a position they will be keen to improve upon against a side just one place below them.
Recent form provides momentum
Their last outing was a comprehensive 4-0 victory at Motherwell, a result that broke a run of four league matches without a win. Gavin Molloy opened the scoring before the break, with Connor Ronan, Ayoub Mouloua and Kevin Nisbet adding goals in the second half. That performance provides a much-needed boost ahead of a tricky trip to Edinburgh.
Hibernian’s recent results have been mixed, with a home defeat to Kilmarnock last weekend following a 3-0 win at Ross County. The hosts will be without defenders Jordan Obita and Rocky Bushiri, while midfielder Kanayochukwu Megwa is also sidelined. Aberdeen’s own injury list includes Bradley Lyons, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Kristers Tobers and Kusini Yengi.
Nisbet leads the line
A key figure for Aberdeen is striker Kevin Nisbet, who is the club’s top scorer this season with two goals in six appearances. He found the net against both Motherwell and Kilmarnock in the last two games, providing a focal point for an attack that has scored six league goals so far. Managerial analysis will focus on whether the 5-3-2 shape that worked so well at Fir Park can be replicated, with the same defensive solidity required against a Hibs side that has conceded in each of their last four matches.
The Dons’ recent form reads one win, two draws and two losses from their last five, a sequence they will aim to correct. A victory would see them potentially climb the standings and put clear distance between themselves and the bottom half. The match kicks off at 3pm local time on Saturday, 19 September.
Gavin Molloy praised new signing Ayoub Mouloua after his first goal for the club in the 4-0 win at Motherwell. Molloy said, "I was buzzing for him. He is insane at times, we need that." The Irish defender confirmed the Moroccan forward's unpredictable character is a welcome addition to the squad. The Dons, who sit eighth with seven points, will look to build on that away victory when they visit Hibernian this Saturday.
Motherwell defender Martin Moormann admitted his side's 4-0 defeat to Aberdeen was a necessary wake-up call. Moormann said, "Maybe it's good to get such a defeat right now so we can learn from it." The result, which came on 2026-09-15, was Motherwell's first home league concession this season. Aberdeen's league standing is eighth with seven points from six games.
Aberdeen's 4-0 win at Motherwell on 2026-09-15 was confirmed by the hosts, who described it as a night to forget. The club's verified data shows Gavin Molloy opened the scoring in the 38th minute, with Connor Ronan adding a second just after half-time following a deflection off Martin Moormann. Ayoub Mouloua and Kevin Nisbet completed the rout, with Nisbet's 87th-minute strike assisted by goalkeeper Marius Müller. The result leaves Aberdeen eighth in the Premiership with seven points from six games.
