  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Carl Starfelt, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cameron Carter-Vickers suffering a number of foals already.
