Bitesize Prediction: Aberdeen vs Motherwell – 27/12/23

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Aberdeen win

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

Looking to make up some ground in the top-six chase on Wednesday night, Aberdeen will welcome Motherwell to Pittodrie.

Starting with the hosts, while Aberdeen might have found themselves at the heart of a real struggle when opening up the 2023/24 campaign, Barry Robson’s men have claimed a recent boost. Last seen over the weekend making an immediate return to winning ways as they clinched a 2-1 victory against Livingston, the Dons now have their sights set on mounting a top-half charge in the New Year. Despite suffering League Cup heartbreak at Hampden on December 17th as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Rangers, Aberdeen have won all of their other previous three appearances across all competitions. Signing off their Europa Conference League adventure with a 2-0 victory against Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, the midweek hosts have also continued to shine with their performances on home soil. It should be highlighted, Robson’s side have won all of their last three showdowns at Pittodrie by an aggregate score of 6-2.

As for the visitors, last seen on Christmas Eve slumping to a routine 2-0 loss at the hands of Rangers, Motherwell are enduring a major Premiership struggle this season. Battling it out at the foot of the table and coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Stuart Kettlewell’s side are without a single win from any of their previous 15 straight appearances across all formats. With that extended nightmare stemming all the way back to September 3rd, Wednesday’s guests have also gained a reputation for their glaring struggles in the final third. Along with opening December with a 3-0 drumming away at Ross County, Motherwell have bagged just one goal in their last four outings. Facing a tough trip to Pittodrie here, Kettlewell’s side should also be concerned by a nightmare record against Aberdeen. Losing all of their previous three straight meetings by an aggregate score of 9-4. Given the huge recent gulf in class, we are backing a home victory here.
