  • 5' The 32-year-old John Lundstram has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Glen Kamara made 187 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 20' Aberdeen FC is showing some good football. However, Aberdeen FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 59' The supporters are chanting for Scott Arfield. He replaces Fashion Sakala on 59 minute.
