Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-0
St Johnstone
Aberdeen play host to St Johnstone at their Pittodrie Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Premiership game. The Dons aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to St. Mirren, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Saints. Even though the likes of Watkins, Devlin, and Considine continue to miss out with injuries, home win should be considered as St Johnstone are having a season to forget.
The Saints are stuck at the bottom of the standings, with the team eyeing their first league win since October 30, 2021. Aberdeen are more of a team than St Johnstone, and we predict that the hosts are going to prove their worth on the field. To make things even worse for the visiting side, forward Nadir Ciftci suffered an injury in the goalless draw with Dundee FC.
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.
