Aberdeen prepare to entertain Dunfermline Athletic at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 28 and lost only 7 of the 45 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2003, the Dons carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
