FootyMad's prediction ...
An interesting game for the Dons to play at the moment, and one from which I believe will see Aberdeen take away one point. Score draw
Stand-Free's prediction ...
A game the Dons must win to have any chance of qualifying for Europe, and a game they will win - but perhaps not by the 2 goals needed. Away win
