After 10 games in a row without a victory, Aberdeen will once again be searching for three points this weekend when they host Hibernian at the Pittodrie Stadium.
The Hibees are also desperate to get back to winning ways on Saturday after consecutive defeats have seen them slip down to fifth place in the table.
We say: Aberdeen 2-1 Hibernian
Neither team heads into this fixture in great form, which will likely provide both with some belief that they can return to winning ways on Saturday.
However, Hibernian certainly have the stronger squad and if they are hoping to push back into the title race, then a quick response is needed here.

We say: Hearts 2-0 Dundee
While Dundee stepped up in their most recent outing and showcased what they are capable of, this is going to be a hard fixture for them to follow that up.

Two of the struggling teams within the Scottish Premiership will face each other on Saturday as Ross County host Livingston at Victoria Park.
The hosts have not won a single game this season; meanwhile, the visitors are just a point above the relegation zone, making this a true six-pointer.
We say: Ross County 0-2 Livingston
This is a crucial game for both teams due to the impact it could have on the relegation battle, but Livingston should have enough quality to see them through.
Ross County have been poor defensively, which the visitors will look to exploit and the fact they have been unable to win a single match is something that will have knocked the hosts' confidence.
