St. Mirren vs Aberdeen Prediction: Incredible Aberdeen continue their league title chase with a win

At Paisley 2021 Stadium, St. Mirren will play Aberdeen in round 13 of the Scottish Premiership. Heading into this game, the two teams secured a win in their last league game. How will they approach this encounter? 

St. Mirren secured a hard-fought victory over Hibernian the previous time out in the league, defeating Hibernian away from home. In that game, Conor McMenamin's brace was enough to seal maximum points for his side. However, St. Mirren have not lost their last three encounters into this fixture, defeating St Johnstone and drawing Ross County in that run. Seated 6th with 15 points in the standings, St. Mirren have scored 17 goals and conceded 22 in 13 matches. 

Aberdeen's last league game was against Dundee FC, and they won. In that encounter, Aberdeen needed a second-half strong performance after settling for a goalless draw at halftime. However, that win was Aberdeen's third in recent encounters, having defeated Rangers FC and Dundee United in prior encounters. Aberdeen's lone defeat in recent encounters was against Celtic in the League Cup, a 6-0 disappointing game.

Aberdeen have been flying high, and I feel they will resume where they stopped before the break. While St. Mirren are at home, I have not seen them compete enough, as their matches have ended with inconsistent performances. This should be a game of the better team with a better squad. I will back Aberdeen to win full-time. Also, while I can not rule out St. Mirren off here, a bet on scoring for both teams is a good option.
