Premiership: What this game might miss in glitz it should pay back in guts and enthusiasm. Let's go: Aberdeen - St. Johnstone!

Insights:
  • All of Aberdeen's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • St. Johnstone have the fewest scored goals (3) in Premiership

Not a lot of time to rest for the home team, as they played a Europa Conference League fixture only three days earlier. This match was also played here at Pittodrie Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, St. Johnstone have had more rest.

Aberdeen form and stats

Three Premiership home games done for Aberdeen, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

The home fans witnessed a 1-1 draw vs HJK in the Europa Conference League last time out and are hoping for a victory here. The talented striker McGrath bested all the other footballers in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 7.73 out of 10. McGrath dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 25 successful passes (of 30 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Rangers and winning 3-1.

The Aberdeen fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Aberdeen defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

St. Johnstone form and stats

The Premiership season is young and St. Johnstone have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

St. Johnstone played 1-1 against Livingston in their previous match. Costelloe, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.45. Costelloe scored one goal.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hibernian wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As opposed to that, Johnstone have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
