Aberdeen v St Mirren

Aberdeen vs St Mirren Preview

Aberdeen picked up where they left off at the end of last season's Scottish Premiership campaign by picking up all three points away from home at St Johnstone in the opening game of this new domestic top flight season, while St Mirren also got their new campaign off to a winning start when they registered a resounding 3-0 home win against Hibernian on home soil at their The SMISA Stadium.

Aberdeen ended last season on a high note as The Dons put together a solid nine-game unbeaten sequence which saw the upcoming hosts finish top of the Relegation Round group after the top flight was split into two at the end of the regular season.

The Dons had previously suffered a miserable stretch of results in the Scottish Premiership from towards the end of January through to mid-March which produced an 11-game winless run and included slipping to no fewer than six defeats in the process, but Aberdeen responded in positive fashion.

A subsequent nine-game unbeaten run saw Aberdeen pick up six wins and three draws, and four of these six wins were recorded on home soil at Pittodrie where they collected wins against Ross County, Motherwell, St Johnstone and Livingston respectively and indeed, home form has been pretty solid overall as Aberdeen have been handed just two defeats in their last 13 home games.

St Mirren produced a winning start to their new Scottish Premiership campaign as they recorded a 3-0 home win against Hibernian but recent results have been far less convincing where St Mirren have been concerned of late.

Indeed, St Mirren have managed to capture just two wins in their last 10 league matches overall in the Scottish top flight which came by way of victories gained over Dundee and the aforementioned Hibernian but also includes being handed six defeats in the process as well.

Three of these previous defeats were incurred on their travels as St Mirren slumped to losses at the likes of Kilmarnock and twice on the road at Celtic, while the bigger picture shows St Mirren have managed to collect just three wins in their previous 16 outings on the road which is a pretty poor record indeed.

10 defeats within these last 16 away games suggest St Mirren may well have their work cut out when they make their way to Pittodrie for this upcoming clash against an in-form Aberdeen outfit.

Aberdeen v St Mirren Verdict

Aberdeen have won four out of their last five games at home and the hosts look the more likely to grab the three points in this upcoming clash particularly considering how badly St Mirren have fared on their travels in recent times, keeping just two clean sheets in their last 16 away games.
