Aberdeen and St Mirren are set to clash on Wednesday night at Pittodrie Stadium in the Scottish Premiership. This match features two teams with differing trajectories in the league, as Aberdeen seeks to build on recent successes while St Mirren struggles to find form.
Aberdeen’s Recent Form
Aberdeen is enjoying an unbeaten streak in their last four league matches, securing three wins and one draw. The Dons have shown recent improvement after a challenging start to the season. Previously, they managed only one win in their first eleven matches across all competitions, with their sole victory being a 3-0 match against Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup.
Although they faced eliminations from the Europa League and the Scottish League Cup, their performance has stabilized. Over the last ten games, they have recorded five wins, one draw, and two losses. This resurgence has lifted them to seventh place in the Scottish Premiership, amassing 17 points from 13 games.

St Mirren’s Struggles
In contrast, St Mirren has faltered in recent weeks. After an encouraging start, which included five wins, six draws, and just one defeat in their initial 12 matches, they now find themselves in dire straits. Their league performance has deteriorated sharply, suffering six defeats and one draw in their last seven league outings.
The only bright spot for St Mirren came during the Scottish League Cup semi-final, where they defeated Motherwell 4-1. However, their league struggles have sent them to 11th place on the table, compounding their worries as they focus on avoiding relegation.
