Aberdeen, Recent FormLast time out for Aberdeen resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Livingston in a match they really wanted to win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to Livingston, who had 12 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. Playing at home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are currently on a run of 6 consecutive clean sheets.
They have been performing well at Pittodrie Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Celtic, Recent FormCeltic head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 4-2 home win against Ross County in their last league encounter. In that game they recorded 75 % of the possession, with 18 attempts on goal, 12 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 7 shots on goal.
