Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

Aberdeen look certain to be playing their football in the Scottish Cup, and it is easy to see why when you consider that they are winless in 10 top-flight home games, drawing three and losing eight. Kilmarnock, on the other hand, have recorded ten wins in 13 trips at this level recently, so Kilmarnock should prove far too strong for their struggling opponents.

Each of the previous six Aberdeen matches in the Scottish Cup has been of the under 3.5 goals variety, with the net bulging a total of just eight times across these contests. What’s more, eight of the nine top-flight fixtures involving Kilmarnock this season have also served up three goals or fewer, so a repeat performance would appear to be on the agenda here.

Kilmarnock are rarely involved in away games in which both teams find the net, with this being the case in just one of their previous seven trips in the Scottish Cup. It has been a similar story as far as high-flying Aberdeen are concerned on their own patch of late, as one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from ten of their last 13 encounters.
