  • Ross County have the most conceded goals in the first half (5) in Premiership

These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they played only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was an away game at Eintracht Frankfurt, so at least Aberdeen are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Miovski was the last player to find the net.
