The Premiership meeting at Pittodrie Stadium on Wednesday sees home side Aberdeen welcome guests Celtic. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Aberdeen will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-0 Premiership defeat last time out to Hearts. In all likelihood, The Dons will possibly use the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match and select Dimitar Mitov, Nicky Devlin, Jack Milne, Liam Morrison, Gavin Molloy, Sivert Nilsen, Dennis Geiger, Toyosi Olusanya, Lyall Cameron, Topi Keskinen and Kevin Nisbet.
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Aberdeen boss Peter Leven to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Kristers Tobers misses out.
How Aberdeen might line up to take on Celtic
In their last game, Celtic drew 2-2 in the Premiership tie with Rangers. From our viewpoint, The Bhoys seem most likely to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Viljami Sinisalo, Julian Araujo, Dane Murray, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, Callum McGregor, A. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Daizen Maeda, Junior Adamu and Hyun-jun Yang.
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Arne Engels (Hamstring strain), Adam Montgomery (Calf injury) and Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
