Recent respective form guides
Aberdeen have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Dons in those games, with 5 conceded. The Dons are, however, at the top of the overall form table at the moment with a superb 16 points from the last 18 available, a record only matched by some Glesga team whose name escapes me.
The away form of Motherwell is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. The 'Well have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
Aberdeen find themselves in a respectable 4th position, courtesy of the 52 points they have accumulated from 31 games. Motherwell's 39 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Dons's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Motherwell. Home Win
