Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock Prediction & Tips | Premiership - Relegation Group | FootballTips.app

Aberdeen and Kilmarnock meet at Pittodrie this weekend, with the Scottish Premiership split getting underway as the eighth-placed Dons sit five points clear of Killie in the relegation playoff place.

The Dons ensured that Hibernian didn't win successive league visits to Pittodrie for the first time since September 2004, as they returned to winning ways the weekend before last to boost their Scottish Premiership survival hopes. Aberdeen aren't quite out of the woods just yet, but they would certainly gain some more breathing space if they could beat Kilmarnock for the third time this season.

Kilmarnock's games have seen more goals than any other Scottish Premiership team's matches this season (102 - 37 for and 65 against), so a four-goal thriller in their last match against Dundee maybe shouldn't have been seen as a surprise. Killie demolished the Dons in their last meeting at Rugby Park, having last seen 100+ goals in their matches at the split after 33 games in the top-flight back in 2005/06 (115).

Aberdeen could take a giant step towards securing their safety, should they beat Kilmarnock for a third meeting out of four in the Scottish Premiership this season on Saturday afternoon.
