History of the Aberdeen v Motherwell fixture

Aberdeen prepare to entertain Motherwell at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 63 and lost only 12 of the 115 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Dons have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Motherwell's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The The 'Well's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 7 points from 10 matches. Motherwell see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 12 points from their 9 games played so far,
