FootyMad's prediction ...
Your FootyMad panel thinks that Aberdeen's indifferent home form is due to continue with a narrow home defeat against Motherwell. Away win
Stand-Free's prediction ...
Aberdeen are back to virtually full fitness, with Whelan and Anderson back from injury and the full recovery of Chris Clark. This should see the Dons edge this encounter to extract some revenge on 'Well for their last season defeats. Home win
