Score Predictions for Semi Final

[houstonhibbee]

hard to see us keeping a clean sheet or scoring more than one........................

I'll go 1-1 then 2-1 in extra time.
Cummings then Harris.............

[lucky]

0-3

[houstonhibbee]

0-3
That's not very lucky? I take it you're not going then? Or is it self reverse psychology?

[sleeping giant]

It's anyone's game.
I'll take heads

[Lancs Harp]

5-2 Hibs. A game you'll never forget. :wink:

[hfc rd]

50-50

Head says Aberdeen but heart says Hibs

1-0 for Hibs

[007]

Hibs to win on penalties again.

[Dibben]

50-50

Head says Aberdeen but heart says Hibs

1-0 for Hibs

This. Wouldn't be surprised with a narrow win for either team.

Can see it being won after ET and penalties!!

[Sir David Gray]

2-1 to the Scottish Cup holders.

[B.H.F.C]

Not overly confident, but don't fear them at all.

Think it'll be a tight game. Can see it going the distance.

[Mikers110]

Aberdeen are a good team, but not a team to be feared. We may have just got ourselves out the championship, but this is, in effect, two teams of premier league standard up against each other. Could go either way on the day.

[Glory Lurker]

5-2 Hibs. A game you'll never forget. :wink:

Conflicts with my prediction on another thread, but I think I'll go with this!

[Nakedmanoncrack]

1-1.

[Green Badger]

Hibs win 2-1

[monktonharp]

a 1 all draw, with SJM saving us in the late stages, then anyone's guess at penalties

[houstonhibbee]

1-1.
it will never be a draw. Someone has to win....

[GlasgowHibee]

2-1 Hibs, Aberdeen aren't great, in fact, i'd go as far as to say they are "overrated"

Daz McGregor winner. :greengrin

[monktonharp]

2-1 Hibs, Aberdeen aren't great, in fact, i'd go as far as to say they are "overrated"

Daz McGregor winner. :greengrinto be honest I have not watched much of them (on tv) but they are 2nd by a distance in the top league so must be very hard to deal with , and they have recently won the League cup.

[1van Sprou7e]

Loved it when we won 0-0 last time...

[SirDavidsNapper]

Aberdeen have taken over Hibs "bottlers" tag. They generally come unstuck in the big games. I don't think there's much between Hibs and Aberdeen but think our Scottish cup momentum will see us through.

[Mikers110]

Ahem... did we not win the big cup last year or was it all a dream!!

[Hibeewilly]

3-1 Hibees - easy peasy!!!

[makaveli1875]

our players will walk out on saturday knowing they have what it takes to win the cup , we will win 2-0 . Cummings a cert to score a 30 yarder and big efe will seal the deal

[pacorosssco]

We can win. Ill take whatever score ensures we do. 0-0 semi united was a game we always fell short. Dug out a win.

[Onceinawhile]

Aberdeen are rightly favourites, but often choke at hampden.

Wouldn't be surprised to see either team win.

[pacorosssco]

Yes they carry our old monkey and as underdogs pressure on them. Hibs though will as always have to deal with history of less than a year hoodoo since the won the cup.

[WeeRussell]

Not got a confident feeling about this one at all. We absolutely CAN beat aberdeen, I just have a feeling we won't on Saturday! Do hope I'm wrong though, and maintain their centre halves are there to be got at.

My prediction? I think Aberdeen will win by a couple of goals. My predictions are useless though so nothing to worry about.. one thing is for certain, we will go and give it a go, the fans will have ANOTHER day out to hampden, and we've nothing to lose. Who knows, maybe we'll see a lift in performance now the league pressure is over...

[.Sean.]

2-0 Hibs.

Canny wait to put these over-rated sheep****gers back in their box.

[northstandhibby]

2-2 with us scoring an additional two in extra time to go through 4-2.

glory glory

[Dunbar Hibee]

Quietly confident. Aberdeen are an extremely good side though. Should be a good game!

[NZ Green]

Its going to be close, but Hampden is our second home so....

[southern hibby]

i see two main battles Hibs have to win to stand a chance. We need to win the midfield battle and we need to have a go at their CH's. Our midfield if they play to their potential can and will give Aberdeen a run for their money.
As for Battle against their CH's, I'd let Boyle and (or if he comes on later in game ) Harris run at them and try and tire them out or get them to give away stupid foals. If one is booked put everything through that channel to see if they give away another stupid foal or even get second yellow.

Think game will be tight but going for win in extra time for hibs with Boyle having his best game in a Hibs shirt.

GGTTH

[Phil MaGlass]

2-2 in 90 mins, 4-3 Dons in extra time.

[Springbank]

It will be like Aberdeen in every Scottish Cup semi in recent years:

Aberdeen will go 1-0 up

Aberdeen lose 2 late goals to lose 2-1

Cummings and Ambrose to score for Hibs and the Dons Scottish Cup curse to continue

[Steve20]

Aberdeen are rightly favourites but it's one of those games that could go either way. I think it'll go all the way to extra time and maybe even penalties.

[Pete]

2-0 hibs

[Col2]

Really tough to call.

The longer the game goes on and we are level the more chance the sheep will bottle it again.

ET and Pens again.

[Green_one]

It will be like Aberdeen in every Scottish Cup semi in recent years:

Aberdeen will go 1-0 up

Aberdeen lose 2 late goals to lose 2-1

Cummings and Ambrose to score for Hibs and the Dons Scottish Cup curse to continue

This but Hibs score first. Cannot see us beating Celtic so hope Its Rangers in final again

[Jag7]

Hard to call .. if Aberdeen are on there game they will win, depends if Nial McGinn plays, but Rooney and Hayes are major threats, I would go with the same Hibs team that started on Saturday and see how it pans out.. too close to call and it will be the better team on the day that goes through ( I hope )

[Keith_M]

Hibs 1 - Aberdeen 3



That's my prediction, not what I hope will happen

[we are hibs]

If we get through the first 20 minutes without conceding then I fancy us. Whoever scores first will win IMO

[frazeHFC]

2-1 Hibs. We'll need to be at our best but we are good at raising our game for the big games lately.

[Springbank]

2-1 Hibs. We'll need to be at our best but we are good at raising our game for the big games lately.

2-1 is a good call I think

Here’s a report on St Johnstone 2 Aberdeen 1 in a recent cup semi
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/26908707

Then of course there was Hibs 2 Aberdeen 1 a couple of years before that
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17643234

Even when Aberdeen hit 3 in a cup semi at Hampden, Queen of the South scored 4
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_cups/7341879.stm

2-1 for Hibs for me

[IAmLee]

I think it'll be a close one, they are very good in attack but not so good in defense whereas we are solid in defense (usually) but have lacked a bit of a cutting edge recently. Their team pretty much picks itself so it'll come down to which team we put out, if we get it down and play football we have a very good chance, but if we go back to Holt up front & playing hoofball then I think we'll get beat.

...some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over.

[hibeedonald]

I think Aberdeen will win, but it should be fairly close. Even if we are down 2-0 it would be great if we can keep singing till the end

Hibs will win at a canter. :greengrin

Last time they beat us in a cup Jim Leighton was in goals :greengrin http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1227&team2_id=27&teamTabs=h2h

[21.05.2016]

Aberdeen are a very good side but for some reason i'm just ever so slightly quietly confident. We've got the league wrapped up which was the big aim for the season, so now we can afford to relax a bit more and enjoy being in bonus territory. We can now give having another crack at the cup our full focus without having one eye on the league or worrying about key players getting injured for our promotion push.

Think it'll be tight, either 1-0 or 2-1 either way. We knocked them out last season in the league cup and they looked far from convincing last week against the huns so they are a good team but certainly beatable.

[Jim Herriot]

50-50



51-50 to Hibs after extra time (Gray 90+29).

[Marco G]

We have players who have recently won the Scottish Cup at Hampden. They don't. That counts for a lot imo. 2-0 for Hibs in 90 minutes!

Can't believe it's 17 years since they last beat us in cup competition, but it's not as if we've played each other all that much in cups

[ALF TUPPER]

Really hard one to call.
I think we'll get through and see the wee greens in the final.

I can't imagine what it would be like if we win the thing again.
If we don't get through.... its been a hell of a Scottish Cup ride.
GGTTH

[Stranraer]

I have a horrible feeling we'll lose 2-1. Prove me wrong Hibs!:flag:

[SirDavidsNapper]

Hibs 1 Aberdeen 0 aet. Our defence is our best asset.

[scooby]

I'm quietly confident and fancy us to win 2-0.

[Spudster]

Out of the last 9 cup games between us they've won once. They have a poor record against us in the cup and an awful recent record at Hampden.

[joebakerforever]

Fear we will be unable to cope with the threats of Hayes & Nial McGinn, so expect Aberdeen to narrowly win.
