Aberdeen form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Aberdeen's two home games in the Premiership so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Pittodrie Stadium.

Aberdeen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Motherwell. Midfielder Lewis Ferguson was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.65 (out of ten) in that game. Ferguson hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 64 successful passes (of 76 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Ross County.

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 eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost two.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Aberdeen at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

St. Johnstone form and stats

St. Johnstone are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premiership, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Two points from the last two away games for Johnstone, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Johnstone's previous game was their home loss versus Rangers (1-2). Attacker Michael O'Halloran got a player rating of 7.13 in the game. "Man of the match" O'Halloran scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 4 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to St. Mirren.

Johnstone are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of four matches.

The schedule is very tough for St. Johnstone now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at Dundee is waiting in only four days.

St. Johnstone have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - four - two (Aberdeen wins - draws - St. Johnstone wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine had two or less.
