Aberdeen

LLDLDL ⚠

Aberdeen will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against Motherwell.

In that game, Aberdeen had 75% possession and 21 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. On the other side, Motherwell had 6 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Kevin van Veen (26') and Juhani Ojala (59') scored for Motherwell.

It has been all too rare in recent games where Aberdeen haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Aberdeen have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals during that time.

Analysis of their past results shows that Aberdeen:

• have not lost a league tie with St Johnstone in their previous 4 games.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, St Johnstone may well find it hard to breach the defence of this Aberdeen side who should be able to grind out a win.

That’s why we have predicted a highly competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Aberdeen at the end of the 90.

Should be a close one.
