On Aug 6th, St. Mirren and Aberdeen will play a match in Aberdeen in a meeting of these two Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 12th placed Aberdeen is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Celtic. Stephen Welsh scored the first goal for Celtic in the 3rd minute, then João Filipe added another in the 75th minute on a feed from David Turnbull At the end of 90 a dissapointed Aberdeen couldn’t manage to score, and Celtic took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 11th placed St. Mirren, recorded a 0-1 loss against Motherwell. Kevin van Veen struck first for Motherwell in the 42nd minute from the penalty spot, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, St. Mirren was frustrated by Motherwell’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Motherwell ended the match with the shutout victory. St. Mirren looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season St. Mirren won the head to head battle with 2 wins and 1 draw.
St. Mirren is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Greg Kiltie and Curtis Main each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
