Our prediction for this Scottish Cup match:
St Mirren
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Aberdeen
Simple Digital Arena will host Saturday’s football game between St. Mirren and Aberdeen, the two teams who are vying for a place in the FA Cup semis. St. Mirren experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-4 draw with Motherwell, but they eventually booked their place in the quarter-finals after penalty shootout. The Saints have been struggling at the back of late, but given Aberdeen’s current form, we predict that the hosts are going to make life difficult for the visitors.
The Dons, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back losses to the likes of Celtic and Ross County. Aberdeen do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the trip to Paisley; therefore, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the Saints, who have defeated Broxburn Athletic and Motherwell on their way to the quarter-finals.
Highlighted Player (Vaclav Hladky):
Born in Brno on November 14, 1990, Vaclav Hladky is a Czech footballer who plays for Scottish Premier League club St Mirren as a goalkeeper. Hladky spent his youth career at the likes of FC Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, and FC Zbrojovka Brno, and he continued playing for the Zbrojovka Brno reserve team at the senior level.
The 192-cm-tall shot-stopper played for the likes of MSK Breclav (loan) Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, FC Zbrojovka Brno (senior team), and Slovan Liberec before signing a contract with St Mirren. The Czech goalkeeper made his Scottish Premiership debut on January 23, 2019, in a 4-0 loss at Celtic.
Hladky played for the Czech Republic youth teams as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Czech Republic senior team. Vaclav Hladky wears the No. 1 shirt at St Mirren, and his preferred foot is right.
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 were one of the dominant forces in Scottish football during Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, with the team winning three Scottish League titles from 1980 to 1985.
