The Opposition
Aberdeen have had a terrific start to their season with the Dons currently sitting joint top of the William Hill Premiership and unbeaten in the league so far this season.
Manager Jimmy Thelin has lost just one match in charge of the Granite City side, losing 6-0 to Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup at the start of the month. But despite that setback, the Dons bounced back to win 4-1 at home to Dundee before the international break.
Aberdeen have won 10 of their 11 William Hill Premiership matches, their only dropped points coming away to Celtic where they battled back from 2-0 to draw 2-2 at Celtic Park.
The Dons were victorious in the only meeting between the two sides this season, winning 3-1 at Pittodrie in August. Toyosi Olusanya levelled for Saints heading into half-time, but two second-half goals saw Aberdeen pick up the points.
Saints won in dramatic fashion on Aberdeen's last visit to Paisley. Two goals in the space of a minute deep into injury-time from Mark O'Hara and Olusanya sparked wild scenes at The SMiSA Stadium as the Buddies came from behind to win 2-1 in March.
The Officials
