Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen will look to recover from a midweek loss to Celtic when they take on St Johnstone in the Premiership round 16. The Dons suffered a dip in form and, no doubt, they are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run in the national championship. Silvert Heltne Nilsen is banned for the match, while both Mitov and Gueye are out of contention with injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Rangers, but given Aberdeen’s almost perfect home record (7-0-1), we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s clash. The likes of Ikpeazu, MacPherson, and McClelland are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting in the national championship Aberdeen defeated St Johnstone 1-0, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
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.
