Competition: Scottish Premiership
Market: Aberdeen win
Odds: 7/10 @ Pribet
Looking to temporarily climb to the top of the Premiership table on Saturday evening, Aberdeen will welcome Dundee to Pittodrie.
Starting with the hosts, while Aberdeen might have watched their League Cup adventure come to a screeching halt last week as they slumped to a 6-0 drumming at the hands of Celtic, the Dandies have only continued on a real Premiership fairytale. Already cementing their spot as Scotland’s ultimate surprise package this season, they have embarked on a sensational rise following Jimmy Thelin’s arrival over the summer. Remarkably finding just their goal difference keeping them off top spot in the Premiership table, the former Elfsborg boss finds the mood in his camp at a famous high. In fact, Aberdeen have collected 28 points from their first 10 top-flight appearances so far this season. Making a real statement as they signed off October with a 2-1 victory against Rangers, Saturday’s hosts will be looking to lay down another domestic marker here. It should also be highlighted, Thelin’s men have won all of their last 10 straight competitive showdowns at Pittodrie.
As for the visitors, mounting a sensational comeback at home against Kilmarnock last weekend as they secured an action-packed 3-2 win against Kilmarnock, Dundee will be desperate to use that dramatic late flurry as a platform to build on. However, although Tony Docherty’s men might still be scrapping it out in the top-half of the Premiership table, the Dark Blues have shown some real inconsistencies on either side of October’s international break. Signing off October with a 2-0 loss against defending champions Celtic, Saturday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions. With that extended rut stemming all the way back to August 17th, Dundee have also shown some extended defensive struggles. Crashing out of the League Cup on September 21st following a 3-0 drumming against Rangers, Docherty’s side have registered just a single Premiership clean sheet so far this season. Likewise, losing three of their last four contests on the road, we are backing a home win this weekend.
