National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's St. Mirren or Aberdeen that keep their silverware dream alive.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premiership match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Motherwell.
St. Mirren form and stats
St. Mirren participated in Scottish Cup the last season, where they reached the 5th round.On the other hand, in the Scottish Cup, St. Mirren has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses. St. Mirren have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Happy days for St. Mirren in their previous game, a Premiership match away at Motherwell that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that, St. Mirren played out a Scottish Cup draw 4-4 when visiting Motherwell (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for St. Mirren, as the Premiership home game vs St. Johnstone is only four days away.
Aberdeen form and stats
Last season their Scottish Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Scottish Cup stats, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses both home and away.
Home advantage was not enough for Aberdeen in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Ross County, 1-2. Preceding that game was the away Scottish Cup victory against Kilmarnock (after extra-time) with the score of 4-3.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Aberdeen manager D. McInnes as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Kilmarnock.
