Aberdeen vs St. Mirren Prediction: Aberdeen will win

At Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen will take on St. Mirren in the Championship Group of the Scottish Premiership.

After suffering a 2-1 defeat against Hearts in their previous Premiership match, Aberdeen will be hoping for a better showing in this contest. During that game, Aberdeen held 39% of the possession and had nine shots on goal, with four of them finding their mark. Mattie Pollock was the one who scored for Aberdeen in the 31st minute. On the other side of the field, Hearts had 30 shots on goal, but they only managed to get eight of them on target. Hearts got goals from Josh Ginnelly in the 43rd minute and Lawrence Shankland in the 56th minute. Due to Aberdeen's defensive efforts, the number of goals that have been scored against them in their last six matches is just three. When taking into consideration the pre-game facts, Aberdeen have failed to record a victory against St. Mirren in either of their most recent two league matches. Additionally, they have not tasted defeat in any of their previous six league matches played at home.

St. Mirren's previous encounter, which was against Celtic in the Premiership, resulted in a tie score of 2-2. During that match, St. Mirren had 23% possession of the ball and 10 shots on goal, with only two of them finding the target. Curtis Main was the one who scored for St. Mirren in both the fourth and the 39th minutes. Celtic had 21 shots on goal, but only six of them were on target while they were playing against their opponents. The statistics show that St. Mirren have allowed opponents to score in five of their last six matches, for a total of 13 goals scored against them. St. Mirren have, without a doubt, struggled in the defensive department. St. Mirren enters this encounter having failed to win any of their previous three league matches played away from their stadium.

Both Aberdeen and St. Mirren have a respectable head-to-head record, having competed against one another 52 times over the course of the previous seasons, with Aberdeen claiming victory in 24 of those contests and St. Mirren claiming victory in 12 of those contests. There were 16 games with a draw as the outcome. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Aberdeen scored 80 goals while St. Mirren only managed to score 44.

Both of these teams have a lot riding on the outcome of this battle. Despite this, I am certain that Aberdeen have everything necessary to emerge victorious from this competition. As a result, I will be cheering for the team that is playing at home to win. In the meantime, given that St. Mirren have not lost any of their previous matches without scoring at least one goal, I anticipate that they will also find the back of the net.
