Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
High-flying Aberdeen will be aiming to extend their brilliant winning run when they take on Kilmarnock on Matchday 4. The Dons are looking unstoppable at the moment, but boss Jimmy Thelin must warn his men against complacency. Both Leighton Clarkson and Dante Polvara miss out with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Killie, on the other hand, aim to recover from the League Cup defeat to Motherwell. As Kilmarnock have been struggling in front of goal at the start of the season, we predict that Leighton Clarkson’s troops are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Joe Wright misses serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in a 3-0 loss to St Johnstone. In their last meeting at the venue Aberdeen defeated Kilmarnock 3-1.
