Aberdeen, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 away win over Rangers in their last league game, Aberdeen will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they had 29% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 19 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Bojan Miovski will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Aberdeen.
St Johnstone, Recent FormIt's fair to say St Johnstone will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Livingston, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Livingston, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Steven MacLean where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 9 in the same period. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Ali Crawford will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Aberdeen in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for St Johnstone.
The 0-1 victory which Aberdeen recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
Aberdeen have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Saints in each of their previous 3 meetings. In their previous 3 encounters with Aberdeen, The Saints have shipped at least one goal in those matches. In their past 5 meetings, The Dons' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so St Johnstone will have to take their chances when they come.
St Johnstone have lost the last 3 times they've faced Aberdeen in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Aberdeen manager Barry Robson ahead of this clash, with James McGarry (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Robson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Steven MacLean has a number of injury concerns in his St Johnstone squad to contend with: Callum Booth (Unknown), Nicky Clark (Ankle) and Ali Crawford (Calf)
