Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen will look to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Livingston when they host Dundee to their Pittodrie Stadium on Matchday 35. Dundee are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 26 points in their pocket. The Dark Blues have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, but this has to go down as a must-win game for the visitors. All Lee Ashcroft, Cillian Sheridan, and Adam Legzdins are out of contention with injuries for the away side.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Ross County and Livingston. Aberdeen are five points clear of the relegation zone, and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Ross McCrorie serves a one-game ban, while all Matthew Kennedy, Adam Montgomery, Michael Devlin are injured for the home team.
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.
