Prediction: 1-1
Aberdeen
Monday’s football game between St Johnstone and Aberdeen will bring down the curtain on the Premiership round 1. The Saints rolled over East Fife 5-1 in their last League Cup game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Aberdeen. Both Cameron MacPherson and Andre Raymond are major doubts after the duo limped off with injuries in the League Cup defeat.
The Dons, on the other hand, are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in all competitions. As Aberdeen looked sharp in front of goal in a 6-0 crushing of Dumbarton, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Summer signing Ester Sokler should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the League Cup triumph. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the opening match of the season.
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.
