Prediction: 1-0
St Mirren
After suffering a 2-0 loss to Celtic in their opener, Aberdeen will look to give fans some cheer when they take on St. Mirren on day 2 of the new Scottish Premiership campaign. The Dons faced a difficult task in their opener, but they are surely capable of matching the Saints in front of home fans. Both Connor Barron and Jack Mackenzie are sidelined with injuries, while both Duk and Callum Roberts are pushing for a start.
St. Mirren, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Motherwell in their opener, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into goals. Anyhow, home win should be considered as over the years Aberdeen have turned their Pittodrie Stadium into a real fortress. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a goalless draw, but home win should be considered.
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.
