Bitesize Prediction: Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock – 08/04/23

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Aberdeen win

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Hoping to break into the top-three on Saturday afternoon and extended on their recent purple patch, Aberdeen will welcome Kilmarnock to Pittodrie.

Starting with the hosts, although Aberdeen might have opened 2023 in the midst of a rather public Premiership struggle, the Dons have come roaring back in some style. Last seen marking their return from the international break with a rugged 1-0 victory away at St. Johnstone, Barry Robson’s men now find themselves sat just one point adrift of breaking into the top-three. Continuing to shine on either side of the fortnight interval, fans around Pittodrie have seen their side win each of their last four straight domestic outings. Making a major Premiership statement on March 18th as they claimed a stellar 3-0 romp at home against Hearts, the mood in Robson’s camp should be at a season-high. Winning five of their previous six meetings against top-tier opposition and gaining plenty of plaudits from across Scotland, Aberdeen are rightfully tipped as a standout pick on Saturday afternoon.

As for the visitors, marking their return from the international break with a 2-1 victory at home against Hearts, there is no doubt that Kilmarnock will be seeking a repeat display here. However, continuing to gain a reputation for their inconsistencies this season, former Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes finds his side battling it out at the foot of the Premiership table. Already sat 12 points adrift of breaking into the top-six, Saturday’s guests have recorded just a single win from their previous six domestic battles. Likewise, crashing out of the Scottish Cup on March 10th following a shock 2-1 loss at the hands of second-tier outfit Inverness, Kilmarnock have also shown some rather glaring struggles on the road. On a run that is highlighted by a 3-0 drumming against Ross County, it should be noted that McInnes’ side have remarkably claimed just a single away victory all season.
