Match Prediction: St. Mirren 2-1 Aberdeen

St. Mirren's recent form suggests they could pose a significant challenge to Aberdeen. With two wins and two draws in their last five matches, including a solid home victory against Dundee, St. Mirren have shown they can be resilient and effective.

Their ability to score in four out of five recent games indicates a potent attack that could trouble Aberdeen's defence, which has struggled away from home.

Aberdeen have been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five outings. Their recent home loss to Falkirk and away defeats to Motherwell and Dundee United highlight defensive vulnerabilities that St. Mirren might exploit.

However, Aberdeen's 4-0 thrashing of Dundee at home shows they are capable of turning on the style when conditions are favourable. This match could be closely contested, with St. Mirren's home advantage potentially tipping the scales.

St. Mirren have shown good form recently, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches. Their home performances have been strong, with a win against Dundee and a draw against Rangers, suggesting they are comfortable playing at home.

This could give them a psychological edge against Aberdeen, who have struggled on the road. St. Mirren's ability to score consistently, as seen in four out of their last five games, could be crucial in securing a positive result.

Aberdeen's recent form has been mixed, with only one win in their last five matches. Their away form has been particularly poor, with losses to Motherwell and Dundee United, which could be a concern as they head into this match.

However, their convincing 4-0 home win against Dundee shows they have the potential to perform well when they find their rhythm. Aberdeen will need to address their defensive issues if they hope to challenge St. Mirren on their home turf.

The head-to-head record between St. Mirren and Aberdeen shows a dominance by the home team, with St. Mirren winning four of the last five encounters. Aberdeen managed a 3-1 victory in their most recent home game against St. Mirren, but St. Mirren have been dominant in the other matches, including a 3-0 away win.

This suggests that St. Mirren have the upper hand in recent meetings, which could boost their confidence going into this match.

St. Mirren's predicted lineup suggests a balanced approach, with Idowu providing creativity and Ayunga leading the attack. Their recent form indicates they will look to control the game and exploit Aberdeen's defensive weaknesses.

• Predicted lineup: Mitov, Devlin, Milne, Knoester, Jensen, Shinnie, Armstrong, Gyamfi, Aouchiche, Karlsson, Nisbet

Aberdeen's predicted lineup shows a focus on attacking play, with Nisbet and Karlsson likely to be key in breaking down St. Mirren's defence. However, their recent away form suggests they will need to be more solid at the back to counter St. Mirren's home advantage.

• Declan John vs Alexander Jensen: This duel will see St. Mirren's attacking full-back John test Aberdeen's right wing-back.

• Roland Idowu vs Stuart Armstrong: Idowu’s creativity in midfield will be crucial as he faces off against Armstrong, who will look to control the game for Aberdeen.

• Roland Idowu (St. Mirren): Idowu's ability to create chances and link play will be vital for St. Mirren's attacking efforts.

• Jesper Karlsson (Aberdeen): Karlsson's goal-scoring threat from midfield could be the key to unlocking St. Mirren's defence.
