Hibernian preview: Looking to build on their solid run

With two wins in their last three games in the league, Hibernian have been in the best form yet this season, given that they've only secured three wins overall from 17 games. Thanks to these couple of wins, Hibs have escaped the relegation zone, although they remain just a couple of points ahead of the last team in the standings right now.

Meanwhile, Kieron Bowie, Marvin Ekpiteta, Rudi Molotnikov, and Mykola Kukharevych are all ruled out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Smith (GK), O'Hora, Kiranga, Iredale, C. Cadden, Triantis, Newell, N. Cadden, Hoilett, Gayle & Youan

Player to watch: Jamie McGrath

One of Aberdeen's key players this season has been McGrath, who helped his team stay in pursuit of top spot in the league with four goals and six assists. With that in mind, the Irish midfielder is our player to watch in this match too.
