History of the Aberdeen v St. Mirren fixture

St. Mirren face a trip to Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Buddies will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 64 and win only 20 of the 100 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2008, with Aberdeen running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Dons have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 14 goals for the Buddies, and 8 goals against.

Aberdeen's 5 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position. St. Mirren see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 5 points from their 4 games played so far,
