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

16:00
Prediction: 1-2
Aberdeen
Dens Park will host Saturday’s Premiership game between Dundee and Aberdeen. The Dark Blues aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Rangers, with the team eyeing their first league win since February 9, 2022. Dundee are stuck at the bottom, and given their poor run of results, we do not believe that home win should be considered. All Lee Ashcroft, Charlie Adam, Adam Legzdins, and Cillian Sheridan should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Hibernian. Aberdeen are eyeing a top-six finish, and given their display in the last league match, we predict that the visitors will emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash. Both Matthew Kennedy and Michael Devlin are sidelined with injuries, while Adam Montgomery is a major doubt, speaking of the visiting side.
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.

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.
