Aberdeen will look to bounce back from their disappointing 0-2 defeat at home against St. Johnstone earlier this season when they host the same opponents at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday. Neil Warnock's side currently sits 9th in the Scotland Premiership with 35 points, while Craig Levein's St. Johnstone is just two points behind in 10th place.

Aberdeen comes into this match with a decent form, having taken 8 points from their last 5 games, including a hard-fought 1-0 win over Motherwell at home in their previous outing. They have an average of 1.1 goals scored per game and concede an average of 1 goal per game. When playing at home, they score an average of 1.5 goals per game and concede an average of 1.17 goals per game.

St. Johnstone, on the other hand, has been in impressive form recently, taking 9 points from their last 5 games. They have won three of their last five matches, including a thrilling 1-3 defeat to Hibernian at home in their previous outing. The visitors score an average of 0.9 goals per game and concede an average of 1.9 goals per game.

Bet

Considering the recent form and goals stats of both teams, I would recommend a bet on Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.72. Both teams have struggled to score goals this season, with Aberdeen averaging 1.1 goals per game and St. Johnstone averaging 0.9 goals per game. Additionally, their previous meeting at Pittodrie Stadium ended in a low-scoring affair. With the odds offering good value, Under 2.5 goals looks like a solid bet.
