Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Thanks to a 1-1 draw with Livingston St Johnstone managed to avoid immediate relegation to Championship, but they are on a four-game winless run ahead of the visit of Aberdeen. The Saints are eager to put an end to the negative trend, but the bookies see them as underdogs in Wednesday’s clash. Glenn Middleton, who scored as a substitute in the last league match, is pushing for a start, while Tony Gallacher remains on the sidelines with a broken foot.
The Dons, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Hibernian in their last league fixture. Aberdeen have little to play for in the season finale, and seeing that both sides will be with guards down this time out, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the visiting team, Michael Devlin has yet to overcome an ankle problem, while Matthew Kennedy is a major doubt.
