Aberdeen
LWDDLL
Since being beaten in their last game against St Johnstone in Premiership action, Aberdeen will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, Aberdeen had 54% possession and 17 shots at goal with 5 on target. At the other end, St Johnstone got 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Nicky Clark (44') and Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka (77') scored for St Johnstone.
The stats donโt lie, and Aberdeen have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 10 goals in all. In defence, Aberdeen seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. We will find out if that trend will be sustained in this game.
Looking at their past form shows that Aberdeen:
- haven't won against St Mirren when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league matches. Not good.
- are without a win away from home in their last 4 league games.
