History of the Aberdeen v St. Mirren fixture

Aberdeen prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Dons are clearly on top, having won 65 and lost only 20 of the 101 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was earlier this season, the The Dons carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While The Dons have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of St. Mirren is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Buddies have conceded 10 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Aberdeen see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 31 points from their 29 games played so far, St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 30 matches.
