Aberdeen, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 home win against Dundee United in their latest league match, Aberdeen will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Dundee United, who had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Jim Goodwin will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period.
They've had a good run of form at home recently, with 5 straight wins in a row.
Bojan Miovski will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Pittodrie Stadium, having notched up 8 goals for Aberdeen in their last 6 league matches at home.
Celtic, Recent FormCeltic head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Ross County in their last league encounter. They achieved 75% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Ross County's tally of 2 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Ange Postecoglou will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 21 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 8 goals during those same matches. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches. Few teams have managed to keep The Bhoys away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 8 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 8 games.
Kyogo Furuhashi is the man of the moment at Celtic right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 7 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Celtic recorded a 2-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
From their past 37 away matches in the league against Aberdeen, The Bhoys have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. When Celtic are away to The Dons in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
Celtic will be looking to continue their winning streak against Aberdeen, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 15 meetings.
With only Jonny Hayes (Groin) and Callum Roberts (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jim Goodwin will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only James McCarthy (Hamstring) and Callum McGregor (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ange Postecoglou will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
