There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Aberdeen leading St. Mirren by 5 points.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Aberdeen here at Pittodrie Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). On the other hand, Aberdeen have conceded 5 goals.
St. Mirren form and stats
The visitors, who have the the worst goal difference (-8) in Premiership, are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership. With the Mirren losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Mirren seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premiership home defeat versus Kilmarnock with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the St. Mirren manager J. Goodwin faced defeat when travelling to Dundee United and losing 1-2.
Goals are few and far between in Mirren's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Mirren have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
