Aberdeen: the team's inconsistency
Aberdeen lost 1-0 to St Johnstone at home in the Premiership, despite having 22 shots to their opponents' five and 13 corners to two. None of Aberdeen's five shots on target resulted in a goal.
Aberdeen's form has been inconsistent: just two wins, two draws and four defeats in their last eight matches. Over their last ten games, they have averaged 1.1 goals scored and 1.0 goals conceded per match. In the shorter term, their scoring rate drops further, down to an average of 0.88 goals per game this season. Despite playing at home, the team have struggled to convert chances consistently, which is also reflected in a run of home matches featuring a high number of corners - an indirect sign of difficulties in the final stages of their attacking play.

St Mirren: the side have lost their form
St Mirren suffered a heavy away defeat to Hearts in the Premiership, losing 5-0. Despite possession being almost even, the visitors were outshot on target 1-6 and lost the expected goals battle 0.71-3.15.
St Mirren sit just above their opponents in the table and are also pushing for a place among the leading sides. However, they have lost four of their last five matches, winning just once in that run. Their average of 0.9 goals scored across their last ten matches is low, while they have been conceding at a rate of 2 goals per game over that same period; the seasonal figure is slightly better - an average of one goal conceded per game across eight rounds. This points to difficulties at both ends of the pitch: their attacking output is limited and the defence does not always hold up under pressure.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both teams have been struggling with finishing and consistency of results: neither side stands out for high scoring or defensive reliability during the early part of the season. Their shared aim of staying close to the Champions League places adds to a cautious mood - neither is particularly willing to take unnecessary risks at this stage. A further indication of low scoring is the trend from St Mirren's side: Total Goals - Under 2.5 has come in in six of their last seven away league matches. The editor's main prediction is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score: 1-0.
