Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ross County, Dundee FC will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Aberdeen on Saturday afternoon. The Dark Blues quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Rangers, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a top-six finish. Both Antonio Portales and Diego Pineda are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
The Dons, on the other hand, defeated both Hearts and Livingston at home in the previous two league matches, but beating Dundee on the road is easier said than done. In their last meeting at Dens Park the two sides played out a 2-2 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Defender Jack Mackenzie should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Aberdeen):
Nicknamed the Dons, Aberdeen are professional football club that compete in the Scottish Premiership. Pittodrie Stadium is the club’s home ground, and it can hold up to 20,866 spectators.

The Dons are well known for their red home kit, while away shirt has a shiny gold base colour. Inverness Caledonian are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the North derby.
