Hibernian - Aberdeen

Saturday 19 September 2026 marks a pivotal matchday 7 clash at Easter Road Stadium as Hibernian host Aberdeen in the Premiership. The home side enters this contest looking to stabilize their league form following a narrow 0-1 defeat to Kilmarnock earlier this week. Hibernian will be without the services of Kanayochukwu Megwa and Jordan Obita due to injury, forcing a reliance on the expected XI featuring Raphael Sallinger in goal and a defensive line led by Grant Hanley.

Aberdeen arrive in high spirits after a dominant 4-0 victory over Motherwell, a result that provides a significant boost to their campaign. With Kevin Nisbet and Toyosi Olusanya expected to lead the attack, the visitors aim to maintain their momentum against a Hibernian side that has experienced a mixed run of results recently. Both teams will be eager to assert control in this encounter to climb the Premiership table.
