Andy is with Aberdeen, who should have too much for a struggling Kilmarnock.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Aberdeen to win and under 2.5 goals18/5Aberdeen hold a strong recent record against Kilmarnock, winning four of the last six meetings including three at Pittodrie, and they face a Killie side that has lost all four of its Premiership games this season. The under 2.5 angle suits Aberdeen’s cagey nature: the Dons have scored just two goals in four league games, and their recent home meetings with Kilmarnock have stayed tight, featuring 1-0 and 2-1 scorelines. With Aberdeen well on top in this fixture but low on goals themselves, a controlled home win that keeps the total under 2.5 makes for a logical combination.
Kevin Nisbet to score anytime and Aaron Tshibola to be booked11/2Kevin Nisbet leads the Aberdeen line as a regular starter and has already opened his account this season, so he rates as a live anytime scorer against a Kilmarnock defence that has been leaking badly, shipping 14 goals in four Premiership games. For the second leg, Aaron Tshibola is a combative defensive midfielder who has already racked up seven fouls in limited minutes this term, a high rate that puts him firmly in the frame for a caution against a lively Aberdeen attack. With Nisbet carrying a genuine threat and Tshibola living dangerously, both parts of this double hold appeal at Pittodrie.

How Aberdeen go into the game

Aberdeen were beaten 3-0 at Celtic last time out, a chastening trip to Glasgow. Pittodrie must roar them back to winning ways.

Well-organised and dangerous at home, Aberdeen will fancy their chances. A response in front of their own fans is the aim.

How Kilmarnock go into the game

Kilmarnock lost 1-0 to St Mirren last time out, following a 4-0 home hammering by Dundee United. Confidence is low.

Struggling for form and goals, Kilmarnock face a tough trip north. A point at Pittodrie would be a fine result.
