Aberdeen team overview
After a pretty good last season when they finished 5th and secured Europe, the Dons have been atrocious this year. They finished the Conference League as 35th out of 36 teams and ended up in the Relegation Group. Still, when the Relegation Group started, the Dons proved they are much better than those teams, easily securing survival. With ten points more than 11th-placed St. Mirren, the Dons are without a particular motive in the remaining matches.
Midfielder Dennis Geiger suffered an injury in the previous game against Dundee Utd and had to leave the field after 66 minutes. The 27-year-old will most likely miss the match, along with Alexander Jensen and Kristers Tobers, who should remain sidelined with their injuries.

St. Mirren team overview
St. Mirren are also one of the teams that underachieved this season. After three seasons in which they finished 5th and 6th (twice) in the Championship Group, the Buddies are close to a trip to the second tier. To be fair, it seemed they would secure survival even if they end up in the Relegation Group. However, after losing four straight league games, they dropped to 11th place, which leads to relegation playout. At the moment, they are four points away from the safe zone and will find it very hard to avoid the relegation playout.
Winger Connor McMenamin suffered an injury in the previous game against Kilmarnock and had to leave the field. He will most likely miss the upcoming game, but given how poorly he has played recently, his absence won't be a big problem. Additionally, Dan N'Lundulu, Ryan Mullen, Declan John, Shamal George, Malik Dijksteel, Keanu Baccus, and Jonah Ayunga should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Aberdeen really impressed lately, winning ten points in the past four games, while scoring seven goals (1.75 per game). That is well above their season average of 1.06 gpg. Also, at home, they did very well, winning six of the past nine across competitions - 67%.
On the other hand, St. Mirren lost five games in a row, although one after extra time. In the Relegation Group, they were atrocious, having lost all three games and even failing to score. Also, on the road, the Buddies had very little success this season, winning only four out of 23 games across competitions - a mere 17% win rate.
Considering all the above, we believe the hosts are much closer to winning the upcoming Premiership tie.
4 Reasons why Aberdeen should (AH 0) win
- Aberdeen won ten points in the past four games
- Aberdeen won the last three home games and kept a clean sheet in each
- Aberdeen lost five games in a row
- Aberdeen won only 4 out of 23 road games across competitions
