St Mirren v Aberdeen

St Mirren vs Aberdeen Preview

Fifth placed St Mirren will be keen to extend their mini unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership to three games on Saturday afternoon when they play host to lowly Aberdeen at their SMISA Stadium as the hosts have picked up four points from their last two matches, while Aberdeen were powerless to prevent a ninth league match without a win in the Premiership following a 2-0 loss at home to St Johnstone on Wednesday night.

St Mirren had endured something of a lengthy barren spell earlier in the season in the Scottish top flight as the hosts had picked up just three wins from their preceding 14 games overall which came in the shape of victories over Livingston and Ross County which were both recorded on home soil, along with a crushing 3-0 victory away from home at Saturday's opponents, Aberdeen.

The Saints had also been handed nine defeats in the process but recent results overall have taken a turn for the better for St Mirren as Stephen Robinson's side have collected three wins from their last five games overall by way of wins against Hibernian, Dundee and St Johnstone which will give the hosts plenty of confidence for this upcoming clash.

Aberdeen slumped to a second defeat on the trot in the domestic top flight on Wednesday night when The Dons were handed a 2-0 loss at home to St Johnstone which also became a ninth game without success for the visitors who now find themselves in a disappointing ninth place in the Scottish Premiership table.

This nine-game barren spell includes slipping to four defeats which have been inflicted upon Neil Warnock's side by the likes of Hearts, Rangers, Kilmarnock and St Johnstone respectively and although Aberdeen have picked up points by way of five stalemates within these nine games as well, these results have not been enough to prevent the visitors from dropping down the Premiership table.

Wins have been hard to come by for Aberdeen this season, particularly in recent times as The Dons have managed to capture just three victories from their previous 17 matches overall, two of which were registered on home soil at Pittodrie with wins against Hearts and Livingston, while also slipping to eight defeats as well.

In addition, results away from home have been generally pretty disappointing for Aberdeen as the visitors have collected just three wins from their last 16 outings on the road which were registered at Rangers, Motherwell and Ross County but this sequence of results also include no fewer than 10 defeats as well.
