Aberdeen form and stats

Aberdeen have played 3 Premiership games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Aberdeen has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Glass and the players.

In their previous game, the manager S. Glass led his Aberdeen to a defeat in the Premiership match away at St. Mirren. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pittodrie Stadium. Calvin Ramsay was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.45 out of 10. The defender Ramsay served one assist, hit five key passes and won 3 of 6 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to St. Johnstone (0-1).

Celtic form and stats

It's not happening yet for Celtic on their Premiership travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Celtic are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Celtic's previous game was their home loss versus Bayer 04 Leverkusen (0-4). Celtic lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Celtic keeper Joe Hart was happy for a first-rate day's work versus Bayer 04 Leverkusen, but despite pulling off seven saves the loss could not be helped. Joe Hart (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.34. Hart stopped the opponent with seven saves.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Dundee United in the Premiership.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Celtic's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Celtic in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings featuring these teams: Aberdeen won zero, Celtic triumphed in eight and we saw two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
