Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen
Match Time & Date:
20/02/2021
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Kilmarnock
Pittodrie Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Aberdeen and Kilmarnock. The Dons have been struggling in front of goal of late, but they are still seen as favourites to win the match. All Greg Leigh, Michael Devlin, and Ryan Hedges remain in the recovery room for the hosts. You should bear in mind that Aberdeen are after their ninth home win of the season.
The Killie, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their previous seven league fixtures. Since Kilmarnock have been struggling up front in 2021 as well, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. It has to be noted that three goals in total have been netted in the previous two meetings between the two clubs. The likes of Findlay, Waters, and Broadfoot are likely to miss the game through injuries.
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.
Highlighted Team (Kilmarnock):
Founded on January 5, 1869, Kilmarnock are the oldest professional club in Scotland. The Killie welcome their opponents at Rugby Park, the stadium with the artificial turf. The venue, which was opened back in August 1899, can hold up to 17,889 people.
Kilmarnock won their first and only Scotland Premier League trophy in the 1964/65 season despite being level on points with Hearts at the end of the season. Fellow Ayrshire club Ayr United are considered the Killie’s bitterest rivals. The two teams have been facing each other in the Ayrshire derby since September 1910.
Dark blue is the dominant colour of the club’s home kit, while Kilmarnock footballers wear yellow and blues kit when playing on the travels. The Killie recorded their biggest win back in 1896, with the team beating Saltcoats Victoria 13-2 in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup. The club suffered their biggest defeat in August 1938 as they were hammered by Celtic 9-1 in the Scottish League Division.
