Prediction: 2-1
St Mirren
Pittodrie Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Aberdeen and St. Mirren. Following three consecutive wins in the Scottish Premier League, the Dons shared the spoils with St. Johnstone in their last league fixture. Derek McInnes’ troops have slim chances of winning the domestic trophy, but they are surely capable of booking their place in European competitions.
Over the years, Aberdeen have turned their Pittodrie Stadium into a real fortress, and given St. Mirren’s poor away record, we are tempted to put our money on the Dons. The Saints suffered a loss in each of their first seven away games of the season, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. When the two teams met at Simple Digital Arena earlier this season, St. Mirren defeated Aberdeen 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

The Scottish club played their first match against Johnstone Britannia on October 6, 1877, winning the game by one goal to nil.
