St Mirren vs Aberdeen Predictions

Tense affair in Paisley

No team has had fewer overs games in the Premiership than St Mirren’s 20 this term, and that suggests backing under 2.5 goals in Saturday’s clash with Aberdeen at St Mirren Park.

Aberdeen are ninth, one place above St Mirren in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The visitors have eight wins and 17 defeats, while the hosts have six wins and 16 losses.

St Mirren beat Falkirk 2-1 two weeks ago, but have lost their last two home games in the Premiership. Aberdeen are struggling too, with six defeats in their last eight league games.

Both teams are struggling to find the net. St Mirren have failed to score in five of their last six home league games, while no Premiership side has failed to find the net in more games this season than Aberdeen’s total of 14.

Aberdeen’s recent form suggests that this could be a cagey affair, with 12 of their 16 away matches in the Premiership this season ending with under 2.5 goals. There have been under 2.5 goals in six of their last eight road games.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking a decent correct-score bet. Both sides have scored in Aberdeen’s last three Premiership matches and four of their last six games have ended with both teams finding the net.
