Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
After holding Ross County to a draw at Global Energy Stadium, St. Mirren will look to overtake Kilmarnock in 4th place when they face Aberdeen on Matchday 29. The Saints are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Dons. Midfield duo Conor McMenamin – Ryan Strain remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team collecting only two points in total from the last five league matches. Given Aberdeen’s under-par performance in a midweek loss to St Johnstone, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. To make things even worse for the visiting side, both Jonathan Hayes and Jack MacKenzie limped off with injuries in the last league match.
Highlighted Team (St Mirren):
