Aberdeen are at home in the Scottish Premiership this weekend when they welcome Dundee United to the Pittodrie Stadium. The Dons are third in the table with 38 points from 19 matches, leaving five points behind Celtic, albeit having played one game more. Dundee are fifth with 25 points from 21 games. The visiting side were on the receiving end of a shellacking at the hands of Celtic on Wednesday night. That 3-0 defeat means that they have only picked up one victory from their last six matches. They have failed to win any of their previous eight away games in the league, drawing a blank in six of those visits. No team has scored fewer away goals than Dundee in this Premiership season. 

Meanwhile, Aberdeen are enjoying a five-match unbeaten run, a streak that includes three wins. The most recent of those victories was a 2-1 home beating of St. Johnstone. Aberdeen are unbeaten in nine of their last ten home matches in all competitions, winning eight times. Only Rangers and Celtic have scored more home goals than Aberdeen's 18 in ten games. The last five games have seen them score two or more in each outing. This fixture pits a free-scoring home side against an inefficient travelling band. Aberdeen are unbeaten in their last five matches against Dundee, winning four times. Dundee failed to score in four of those five games, and we see them repeating that awkward trick here. Back Aberdeen to win with a clean sheet.
