The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Premiership home game that ended 2-2 versus Dundee United.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

There's been little loot from Aberdeen's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the Premiership. Aberdeen only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. A depressing five defeats in a row for Aberdeen in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Motherwell.
Two away games in a row for Aberdeen, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 against Darvel in the Scottish Cup.
