Kilmarnock, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Celtic in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Kilmarnock last time out. They came away from that fixture with 29% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Celtic managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Derek McInnes will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Aberdeen, Recent FormLast time out for Aberdeen resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 2-2 draw against Hibernian in a match they really wanted to win. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 12 hitting the target, up against Hibernian's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Neil Warnock will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 25 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Jamie McGrath is the man of the moment at Aberdeen right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Kilmarnock.
Kilmarnock have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Dons in each of their previous 2 meetings. Playing away from home, Aberdeen have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Kilmarnock.
In the league, Kilmarnock has a good track record when they host Aberdeen, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
With only Brad Lyons (Knee) and Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Derek McInnes will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only James McGarry (Hamstring) and Slobodan Rubežić (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Neil Warnock will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
