Aberdeen are targeting a fifth straight win in the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Motherwell at Pittodrie on Saturday. The hosts are second in the league standings and hope to keep the pace as they host fifth-placed Motherwell. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.
Kevin Nisbet scored a late winner to see Aberdeen overcome Ross County away in the last game. Upon returning from the international break, the target is to keep up with league leaders Celtic.
Those two are the only sides with perfect records so far. Aberdeen, having won each of their last nine matches, will be confident of keeping that streak going. They haven't lost in 13 league matches and are also undefeated in their last six meetings with Motherwell.
Motherwell failed to win any of their last three visits to Aberdeen and this time it will be even tougher. They lost twice on those three trips but will bank on their recent results to lift them in this game.
Moses Ebiye’s last gasp goal against St. Johnstone ensured Motherwell claimed a 2-1 win to go into the two-week international break on a high. That victory kept them fifth, five points behind Aberdeen but their away form should be a cause for their concerns.
The visitors come into this game having lost three times in the last five league matches on the road. In their last 19 away matches in the Premiership, Stuart Kettlewell’s side managed just five wins.
