Our predictions for Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock
Match Prediction: Aberdeen 2-1 Kilmarnock
Aberdeen come into this match with strong momentum, having secured three wins and two draws in their recent outings. Their attacking prowess was evident in their last game against Dundee, where they secured a convincing 3-1 away win. With a predicted lineup featuring key attackers such as Jesper Karlsson and Milos Lazetic, Aberdeen are likely to continue their aggressive approach, aiming to exploit any weaknesses in Kilmarnock's defence.
