St Johnstone – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Saints” have won cups and performed regularly, albeit not particularly successfully, at the European arena not so long ago. Still, everything has changed to a fight for survival in recent years. For instance, the club finished the previous cycle in 10th place out of 12 participants.
Craig Levein’s wards have now shown themselves sensibly in both friendly matches and the League Cup. Speaking about the latter one, they won 3 times and the battle against Alloa brought an away defeat with a 2-3 score.
Aberdeen – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Dons” sharply declined in the previous cycle. The club, which had previously consistently represented Scotland in European competitions, and even made it to the group stage of the Conference League last year, finished the 2023/2024 Premiership, at the bottom of the standings, in 7th position.
Now the team has a new coach – Jimmy Thelin was lured from Elfsborg. Being under his leadership, the club won both in a friendly format and in the League Cup. As for the latter, it won all 4 matches, conceding only 1 goal in the entire time and scoring a lot.
