History of the Aberdeen v St. Johnstone fixture
Aberdeen prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 11 of the 52 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2011, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Aberdeen's home form at the tail end of last season was poor, winning just two of the last six at Pittodrie, and losing the other four. The Dons conceded a disappointing six goals in this period, and managed to convert only three of their own chances.
St. Johnstone's away form was none too clever either, collecting two wins and three draws from the last six. The Saints had a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with six goals for and five against.

FootyMad's prediction ...
It was a distinctly poor show from Aberdeen at home at the end of last season, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Dons will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
