Aberdeen's poor home run has seen them win just one and draw two of the last six. While The Dons have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 14 goals for the Buddies, and 8 goals against.

Aberdeen's 5 points from four games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position. St. Mirren see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 5 points from their four games played so far,
