• Fixture: Aberdeen vs Motherwell

• Date: Sunday, 09 November 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Pittodrie Stadium

Aberdeen's recent form shows they're tough to beat at times, with two solid wins on the road and one at home. They'll be looking to improve after that home loss to Hibs. Motherwell, on the other hand, have been a bit up and down but showed they can handle Aberdeen, beating them 2-0 last time they met. This one could be tight, with both teams likely to go for it from the off.

Motherwell's form is decent, but they've struggled against the bigger teams. Aberdeen will fancy their chances, especially with their attacking options. Expect a game where both teams have a go, but Aberdeen might just have the edge with their recent away form.

Aberdeen have been solid on the road, with wins against Kilmarnock and St. Mirren. That should give them confidence heading into this one. However, their home form has been patchy, losing to Hibs but beating Dundee. They'll need to be on their game to get a result here, but with their attacking talent, they've got a good chance.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Kilmarnock (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Hibernian (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs St. Mirren (A)

• Win: 4-0 vs Dundee (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)

Motherwell have had a mixed bag recently, with wins against Dundee United and Livingston but losses to Falkirk and Celtic. They'll be buoyed by their last win against Aberdeen, but consistency has been an issue. If they can bring their A-game, they could cause an upset, but they'll need to be at their best to stop Aberdeen's attack.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 2-0 vs Dundee United (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Livingston (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Falkirk (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Celtic (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Aberdeen (H)

The head-to-head record between these two is pretty even, with Aberdeen winning three of the last five meetings and Motherwell taking the other two. The most recent clash saw Motherwell come out on top with a 2-0 win, but Aberdeen have shown they can score against Motherwell, with a 4-1 victory earlier in the year. It's usually a close contest when these two meet.

• Predicted lineup: Mitov (GK), Devlin (DF), Knoester (DF), Milne (DF), Lobban (MF), Shinnie (MF), Polvara (MF), Jensen (MF), Armstrong (AT), Lazetić (AT), Karlsson (AT)

With Shinnie and Polvara in midfield, Aberdeen will look to control the game and feed their attacking trio of Armstrong, Karlsson, and Lazetić. Their recent form suggests they'll be confident in breaking down Motherwell's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Ward (GK), O'Donnell (DF), McGinn (DF), Welsh (DF), Koutroumbis (DF), Watt (MF), Fadinger (MF), Maswanhise (MF), Slattery (MF), Charles-Cook (MF), Hendry (AT)

Motherwell's defence, led by Koutroumbis and McGinn, will need to be solid to keep Aberdeen's attackers at bay. In midfield, Slattery and Fadinger will be key to breaking up play and starting attacks for Hendry up front.

• Stuart Armstrong vs John Koutroumbis: Armstrong's pace and finishing will be a real test for Koutroumbis' defensive skills.

• Dante Polvara vs Callum Slattery: Polvara's creativity in midfield will be crucial, but Slattery's tenacity could disrupt Aberdeen's flow.

• Alexander Jensen (Aberdeen): Jensen's ability to control the tempo from midfield will be vital for Aberdeen's success.

• Callum Hendry (Motherwell): Hendry's goal-scoring threat up front could be the difference for Motherwell if he gets the service.
