Queen of the South vs Aberdeen Predictions

• Five of Queen of the South’s last seven home games have gone over 2.5 goals
• Both teams have scored in five of Aberdeen’s last seven League Cup games
• Aberdeen have won three of their last four in this competition, two of those were by a 2-1 scoreline

Both teams fancied to find the net

Aberdeen had a disappointing season last time out, finishing seventh in the top flight. They reacted by bringing in new manager Jimmy Thelin for this season after the coach made a big impression with Elfsborg in Sweden.

His first competitive game in charge of the Dons sees his side make the long journey to Dumfries to take on Queen of the South, who finished midtable in League One last season.

These two teams have met three times in recent years, and both teams found the net on all three occasions so this could be an entertaining affair between a new-look visiting side and the hosts, who will be aiming to cause a big upset.

Both teams have also found the net in five of Aberdeen’s last seven in this competition while five of Queen of the South’s last seven home matches have gone over 2.5 goals.

Side with three or more to be scored in this game in what could be an entertaining affair in front of the TV cameras.

New look Dons could edge it

The future of Aberdeen’s star striker Bojan Miovski has been the big storyline for the Dons over the summer but he remains at the club at present. It is doubtful that he will feature in this game however.

Even without their star man, the Premiership side may have just too much for their opponents, although the Doonhammers could make the Dons work for it, take a 2-1 win for the away side, a scoreline they have won two of their last four games in this competition by.
