St. Mirren vs Aberdeen Prediction & Tips | Premiership | FootballTips.app

A huge basement battle takes place in Paisley, as former St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson goes back to the Buddies with his new team Aberdeen, this weekend.

St Mirren were winless in 12 Scottish Premiership away matches (D3 L9) having only won away to Falkirk in September, before the Buddies beat the Bairns at their place for the second time this season. That victory ended their longest away winless run in the top flight since a streak of 20 between November 2009 and October 2010. A win would see Saints move level on points with this weekend's ninth-placed opponents.

Defeat at Ibrox is nothing new for Aberdeen, who had lost their previous three away matches against Rangers without scoring a goal. Only in August 2002 had the Dons lost four in a row away to the Gers without reply so that record remains intact, despite a demoralising 4-1 defeat. Victory in Paisley could see the Reds move six points clear of St Mirren, easing their fears of potentially being dragged into the relegation playoff place.

Aberdeen left it late on their last visit to Paisley in October, but the two teams played out a crazy six-goal thriller at Pittodrie in December and another share of the spoils wouldn't be surprising this weekend.
