In what’s an actual showdown on the high of the Premiership desk, Celtic will journey to Pittodrie after they meet Aberdeen on Wednesday night time.
Beginning with the hosts, whereas Aberdeen may need loved a sensational begin to the brand new marketing campaign, Jimmy Thelin’s males have largely come crashing again all the way down to earth over the previous month. Struggling a second-half collapse away at Hearts over the weekend as they finally needed to accept a 1-1 stalemate in opposition to Hearts, the Dandies have now recorded only a single victory from any of their earlier 5 appearances throughout all competitions. Marking their return from November’s worldwide break with a 2-1 loss by the hands of St. Mirren, the previous Elfsborg boss may even have an actual headache over his aspect’s defensive points. Shedding some essential floor on this season’s title chase, Aberdeen have recorded only a single clear sheet from any of their final 10 consecutive outings. Going through what will definitely be one other heavyweight problem on Wednesday night time, Thelin’s camp may even be involved by their most up-to-date battle in opposition to the defending champions. Crashing out of the League Cup on November 2nd following an notorious 6-0 drumming in opposition to the Hoops, Aberdeen might be determined to place in a much better account of themselves right here.
As for the guests, placing in one other dominant efficiency final weekend as they stormed their technique to a routine 5-0 romp at house in opposition to Ross County, Celtic seem destined to shatter extra home information this season. Travelling to Pittodrie holding a four-point buffer over Wednesday’s hosts, Brendan Rodgers’ males are on the coronary heart of one other main purple patch. Trying to lengthen on their Champions League journey this yr, the previous Leicester boss might be calling on his high-flying squad to put down one other marker in midweek. Marking their return from November’s worldwide break with a 4-1 romp away at Hearts, the defending Scottish champions have suffered only a single defeat throughout any competitors thus far this yr. Gaining a fearsome fame for his or her free-scoring performances within the remaining third, it must be famous that Rodgers’ camp have remarkably bagged 40 objectives of their first 13 Premiership appearances. Extending on their League Cup marketing campaign final month as they cruised their technique to that 6-0 romp in Glasgow, we’re backing an identical away victory on Wednesday night time.
