Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen will be aiming to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Kilmarnock in the Premier League round 30. The Dons look unstoppable at the moment, and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Keep in mind, though, that captain Graeme Shinnie serves a one-game ban following his sending-off against St Johnstone.
The Killie, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hearts, but given their poor away record, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. You should bear in mind that Kilmarnock have already suffered 13 defeats on the road this term. Rory McKenzie is banned for the match, while both Liam Polworth and Ben Chrisene are sidelined with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Aberdeen outplayed Kilmarnock 4-1.
Highlighted Player (Christian Doidge):
Over the years Christian Doidge has established himself as one of the best attackers in Scotland Premiership. Born on August 25, 1992 in Newport, Doidge is a Wales international who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish top flight.
He is a product of the Southampton football academy, but he did not see any game action in the Premier League with the Saints. The towering striker played for Bristol Rovers during his youth career as well before joining Cwmbran Celtic at senior level. He played for the likes of Barry Town, Carmanthen Town, Dag & Red, Dartford (loan), Forest Green Rovers, and Bolton Wanderers (loan) as well before signing a deal with the Hibs.
Christian Doidge made his Scotland Premier League debut on August 3, 2019 in a 1-0 win over St. Mirren. The Wales attacker scored his first league goal for the Hibs against the same opponent three months late. Doidge has yet to receive a call-up for the Wales national football team.
