Form Guide
Aberdeen
LLLWLW
Aberdeen will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Premiership victory against Motherwell.
In that match, Aberdeen had 50% possession and 14 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Aberdeen was Leighton Clarkson (25'). On the other side, Motherwell had 14 shots at goal with 5 on target.
It has been seldom in recent times where Aberdeen haven’t conceded. The reality is that Aberdeen have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 8 goals on the way. Despite that, it remains to be seen if the trend will continue on in this game.
Leading up to this clash, Aberdeen:
- are unbeaten in the league by Ross County in their previous 5 matches.
- have not won at home in their last 6 league games. That's never good.
Ross County
LWDLDW ⚖
Ross County will go into this encounter following on from a 2-1 Premiership win with the downing of Hearts in their most recent game.
In that match, Ross County had 35% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Ross County was Simon Murray (42', 49'). Hearts had 21 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Yutaro Oda (91') scored for Hearts.
The numbers tell their own story, and Ross County have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals in all. Defensively, Ross County could really do with shoring things up.
Their previous form shows that Ross County:
- are winless against Aberdeen in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
- have not won away from home in their last 13 league games. They clearly need to do something about it.
