Aberdeen form and stats
Aberdeen participated in Scottish Cup the last season, where they reached the semi-finals.Aberdeen are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Pittodrie Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

The Aberdeen fans got no joy from their last match, a Premiership game also here at Pittodrie Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against St. Johnstone. Before that, Aberdeen played out a Premiership draw 0-0 when visiting Rangers.

There will be little rest for Aberdeen after this match as they are travelling to Hamilton Academical for a Premiership game in only three days.
Kilmarnock form and stats
Kilmarnock's mission in Scottish Cup last season failed in the 5th round replays.It's the second away game in a row for Kilmarnock, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Hearts in the Premiership last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Ross County.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Kilmarnock when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing two and winning zero games.
A quick return to home after this game, as Kilmarnock are hosting Rangers in the Premiership only four days away.
