History of the Aberdeen v Dundee fixture

Aberdeen prepare to entertain Dundee at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 57 and lost only 16 of the 103 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2003, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 10 to 9.

Dundee's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 14 points from 16 matches. Dundee see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 17 points from their 16 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Aberdeen at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Dons will at least gain a draw. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Aberdeen 15 games since last home draw.
Dundee Not won in previous 2 away matches.
