- Aberdeen have won three of their last five, drawing the other two.
- St. Johnstone have won one of their last five, drawing two and losing two.
Dons have the edge over The Saints
Aberdeen FC and St. Johnstone are tied on eight points after seven games in the Scottish Premiership, with the Dons sitting 7th to The Saints' 6th.
The home side are in better form, having won three of their last five games and drawn the other two.
Their most recent results are a 4-0 away win over Motherwell, a 1-1 draw away to Hibernian, and a 4-1 away win over Dunfermline in a friendly.
Saints' results over the same period have been more mixed, with one win, drawing two and losing two of their five outings.
Their most recent three results have seen them take a 2-1 home win over Hibernian, a 0-1 home loss to Celtic and a 1-1 home draw with Falkirk.
Dons’ organisation and structure a cut above
Stephen Robinson has his Aberdeen side playing with a structure, a high press and fast starts and they are clicking well, with the ball whizzing about at speed and the two wing-backs creating plenty of chances.
Simo Valakari has got The Saints set up in a compact, adaptable shape that is difficult to break down, but their main weapon is their defensive solidity and their ability to get out wide to attack when they do win possession.
Aberdeen have the advantage as they are playing much better football, but the odds of 59/50 make them the slight favourites over St. Johnstone at 23/10, with the draw coming in at 9/4.
The draw is a big runner given these two teams have won three of their previous five head-to-heads, but that run of results includes a 0-0 bore draw in the 2024/2025 campaign.
The most likely outcome here is that they cancel each other out again with a low-scoring draw, so under 2.5 goals at 83/100 looks a much better alternative to the home win.
Kevin Nisbet is Aberdeen's main man, notching up four goals in seven Prem 2026/2027 games, while Josh Fowler is The Saints' danger man with the same number of strikes in the same amount of games.
Both have three goals in their team's last five, so are the obvious choices for an anytime goal on Sunday at Pittodrie.
