Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Motherwell when they take on St Johnstone on Saturday afternoon. The Dons aim to move one step closer to securing the Premiership survival and they are seen as favourites to beat the Saints in front of home fans. Jack MacKenzie limped off with injury in the last league match, with Richard Jensen likely to step up. Defender Stefan Gartenmann serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Saints, on the other hand, have suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches. Given St Johnstone’s shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. As for the visiting side, both Sven Sprangler and Ross Sinclair are sidelined with injuries, while Diallang Jaiyesimi is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
