In this week 31 match on the 8th of April, Aberdeen plays host to Kilmarnock in a clash of the Premiership. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Aberdeen is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against St. Johnstone. Remi Matthews struck first for Aberdeen on an own goal in the 30th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, St. Johnstone couldn’t muster any offence and Aberdeen ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Aberdeen should be reasonably happy with their performance, while kilmarnock sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Hearts. Lawrence Shankland struck first for Hearts in the 7th minute, but Danny Armstrong got the equalizer for Kilmarnock in the 22nd minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 45th minute on a goal by Christian Doidge to cap off a wild match. Kilmarnock looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match together, in Rugby Park, Kilmarnock won by a score of 2 to 1. Scott Robinson struck first for Kilmarnock in the 31st minute, then Joe Wright added another in the 42nd minute on a feed from Ash Taylor.
Scott Robinson and Jeriel Dorsett are the top scorers for Kilmarnock in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Aberdeen’s top weapon lately has been Luis Lopes, who has 3 goals in the last five matches.
