Aberdeen, Recent FormAberdeen manager Jim Goodwin will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Ross County. In that game they had 57% possession and managed 22 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Ross County who had 7 attempts and 1 on target.
It's fair to say that Goodwin will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. A number of teams visiting Pittodrie Stadium have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 4 clean sheets.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
On an individual basis, Bojan Miovski will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 11 goals in Aberdeen's 20 league games this season.
St Johnstone, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Dundee United will have left the St Johnstone squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 45 of the possession, with 8 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 10 shots on goal.
Their boss Callum Davidson is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 17 of their 20 league games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Stevie May has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Aberdeen.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Aberdeen that came out on top with a 0-1 win.
As away records go, The Saints have built up a decent scoring streak against Aberdeen in the league, having scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 7 away meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin ahead of this clash, with Callum Roberts (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Goodwin a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Murray Davidson (Ankle) and Chris Kane (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Callum Davidson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
