Aberdeen vs St. Mirren: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Pittodrie won the national cup last year and finished fifth in the league. However, this season has not gone well for them. In the Europa League, they were eliminated in the qualifiers by FCSB, and in the Conference League, they managed only two points. Even in the cup, as the trophy holders, they lost 0-3 to Dunfermline in the quarter-finals. In the Premiership, they ended up in the bottom six. Still, they finally managed to win, defeating Hibernian and Kilmarnock. Against Livingston, they stumbled, but secured a win over Dundee United.
The team from Paisley finished in the top six last season. But this time, their results have been very modest—they ended the regular season in tenth place and continued to lose in the spring.

Lazetic and his teammates are averaging 1.06 goals scored per game, conceding 1.39. Their opponents' stats are even worse: 0.75 goals scored on average and 1.5 conceded per game.
