History of the Aberdeen v St. Mirren fixture

Aberdeen prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Pittodrie Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 63 and lost only 20 of the 99 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, 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 dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Dons have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Buddies have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Aberdeen see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 14 points from their 12 games played so far, St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 12 matches.
