Aberdeen prepare to entertain Dundee United at Pittodrie Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 81 games played, Dons have recorded 38 wins, and Dundee Utd have come away with 25 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2008, the Dons carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
