On Wednesday night, Aberdeen host struggling Hamilton Academicals in the SPL, as the home side look to make up ground on second place Rangers.
Aberdeen are currently third place in the SPL table, five points behind Rangers. The Dons recent form in the SPL has been mixed. However, the home side has suffered just one league defeat in seven outings, which was against Rangers earlier this month.
A 2-0 victory at St Johnstone last time out means that Aberdeen have scored at least two goals in their last four league outings. The Dons effectiveness in front of goal has led to three of their last four SPL games producing over 2.5 goals.
Rather unusually for Aberdeen their recent home record in the SPL is poor, as they have failed to win in four league games at Pittodrie. Despite their poor recent league home form, Aberdeen have been prolific in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in six of their last seven home matches in the SPL.
Hamilton Acad. are currently 11th place in the SPL, just four points above bottom of the table St. Mirren.
The Accies have won just one of their last 12 matches in the Scottish top-flight. In fact, the visitors have lost nine of their last 12 SPL games. A big factor in the visitors recent poor league form has been their poor defensive record, as they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last eight SPL encounters.
Hamilton have a poor recent away record in the SPL, losing their last five matches on their travels. The Accies have also failed to score in all five recent away defeats in the Scottish top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Aberdeen will record a victory in a high scoring clash to stay in touch with Rangers in the SPL.
