Prediction: 2-0
Dundee FC
Following a 1-0 loss to Hibernian, Aberdeen will look to return to winning ways in the Scottish top flight when they host Dundee to their Pittodrie Stadium on Matchday 20. Following three consecutive wins in the Scottish top flight, Aberdeen suffered a loss in the postponed fixture, with the team dropping to 7th place in the standings. Defender Calvin Ramsay is pushing for a start, while Ross McCrorie is back from suspension.
All Dylan McGeouch, Matthew Kennedy, Andrew Considine, and Michael Devlin are out of contention with injuries. Dundee, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the Scottish top flight, and seeing that Aberdeen are eager to climb to top six, home win should be considered. The likes of Jason Cummings, Charlie Adam, Lee Aschcroft, Cillian Sheridan, and Shaun Byrne should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Funso Ojo ):
Funso Ojo is a Belgium international who plays for Aberdeen as a midfielder. Ojo was born in Antwerp on August 28, 1991, starting his youth career at Olse Merksem. In 2004 he was spotted by PSV scouts, moving to Eindhoven very soon.
Funso Ojo made 11 appearances for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie before moving to Beerschot AC, yet another club from his youth career. The Belgium international played for the likes of Royal Antwerp, Dordrecht, Willem II, and Scunthorpe United before signing a deal with Aberdeen in 2019. Funso Ojo made his Scotland Premiership debut in a 3-2 win over Hearts.
Speaking of his international career, Ojo has one cap with the Belgium U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Belgium senior team. His primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a defensive midfielder. As his parents are of Nigeria descent, the Aberdeen footballer has a dual citizenship.
