Aberdeen vs St. Mirren Prediction: Mirren will not struggle offensively

Pittodrie Stadium will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Aberdeen and St. Mirren. Both teams started their season with a win. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction. 

Aberdeen had a rough season start, but a 1-2 win away from home was a good result against St Johnston. In that game, Nicky Devlin and Jamie McGrath were both on target for Aberdeen as an own goal in the 88th minute by Gavin Molloy could not deny them maximum points. Heading into this game, Aberdeen have a record of six wins in a row while remaining unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions. 

The visiting St. Mirren started their season with a 3-0 win over Hibernian at home. However, this team took on Brann in the Europa Conference League midweek and settled for a 1-1 draw. In that game, St. Mirren needed a 90th-minute strike from Toyosi Olusanya to avoid a defeat after Felix Myhre had put their opponent in the league. However, St. Mirren head into this game with an unbeaten run of eight matches, which they will look to improve. 

The two teams had a decent start to the season, and I do not expect them to slack here. While Aberdeen are slightly the better team in this fixture, St. Mirren showed they could be a tough side to be written off with a three-goal win over Hibernian at the start of their season. I believe the two teams should have a lot to give offensively, and while I am confident they will do well to avoid a defeat, a 1-1 draw for the two teams looks like a good option.
