Aberdeen will battle it out with Motherwell in this Premiership game. All you need to know about the match can be found here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Aberdeen and Motherwell.
Aberdeen form and stats
Aberdeen must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Premiership games here at Pittodrie Stadium. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Aberdeen after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Aberdeen are confident in defense, having played 201 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A strong away win for Aberdeen against Viking the last match, as Ross McCrorie and Ryan Hedges were on target. Previous to that game, a Premiership home match hosting Kilmarnock in a game that was won 1-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Aberdeen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost two.
Aberdeen has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Aberdeen are not conceding a lot of goals here at Pittodrie Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Motherwell form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premiership for Motherwell, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Premiership, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
Motherwell has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Coleraine (after extra-time, 0-3 on penalties) for a Europa League game that ended a draw (2-2). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus St. Johnstone in the Premiership.
Drawing 2-2 against Coleraine (after extra-time, 0-3 on penalties) after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager S. Robinson needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Motherwell are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and three defeats. From a total of eight matches.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Motherwell's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. Motherwell have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Aberdeen five wins, zero draws and Motherwell five victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
