Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Sunday’s football game between Aberdeen and St Johnstone will bring down the curtain on day 8 of the new Premiership campaign. The Dons did well to shock title-chasing Rangers in their last league match, with the team sharing the spoils with Helsinki in the Conference League round 2. Even though both James McGarry and Shayden Morris are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered as Aberdeen have been showing signs of improvement of late.
The Saints, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season and seeing that they have yet to record a win in the process, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. St Johnstone defender Liam Gordon is banned for the match, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Aberdeen this time out.
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.
However, Aberdeen clinched their first domestic trophy in the 1954/55 season, with the team finishing the process three points clear of Scottish giants Celtic. The club’s biggest success came in the 1982/83 season when they defeated the famous Spanish club Real Madrid 2-1 in the title game. Later in 1983, Aberdeen won the UEFA Super Cup as they defeated Hamburger SV 2-0 at Volksparkstadion.
The Dons are well known for their red home kit, while away shirt has a shiny gold base colour. Inverness Caledonian are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the North derby.
