Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Dons's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Buddies have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Aberdeen lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 32 points from their 25 games so far.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 24 matches.
