Aberdeen are hoping to fully take advantage this period of club turmoil. They’ll meet Kilmarnock this Sunday in a game that will be shown live on Sky Sports. The home side, managed by former Ross County manager Stuart Kettlewell, are clearly focused on grabbing their first victory of the season in the top division. Aberdeen does have a habit of coming out of the gate strong. They’ll look to repeat their historic performance last season with an impressive nationwide performance under their belt.
Aberdeen are set to face Kilmarnock this weekend. They’ll make the trip to Falkirk where it will be their first top-flight meeting with the club since 2010. The team is currently focused on maintaining its unbeaten streak against Livingston, whom they will host at home later this weekend. The players believe that their past successes against Livingston, having not lost in five league meetings, will bolster their confidence as they navigate the current season.
Celtic’s Struggles and Hibernian’s Hopes
Celtic, despite starting the season strong with no goals conceded in the Premiership, appears to be struggling compared to their recent dominance. Even the same team that came within a whisker of domestic treble glory just four months back seems to be mortal now. Equity Celtic has faced difficult periods a number of times across its long history. It was the longest losing streak in the league’s history, from May to September 1999, a perfect ten years long.
Currently sitting five points behind both Celtic and Hearts, Hibernian is eyeing a chance to close the gap as they prepare to take on Dundee United this weekend. Hibernian, with one game in hand, could certainly gain some valuable points against the last place Cottagers and start making their rise in the league. They’ll be hoping to take advantage of Dundee United’s patchy form this campaign.
Falkirk and Dundee United opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw. Their real pain, though, has come in recent matches, as they have gone winless in their last four league games at Dens Park. They’ve got a diamond in the rough … Ivan Dolcek. Indeed, he has notched in each of Dundee United’s Premiership matches so far this campaign. This level of consistency from the starting eleven is sure to be key for Dundee United as they search for a return to prominence.
The Upcoming Matches
As Aberdeen take on Kilmarnock next with the prospect of them winning then seeming all the greater due to the stormy situation within Kilmarnock’s camp. Aberdeen’s players and management are conscious that the current tumult at Kilmarnock could hand them the advantage they require to emerge successful. Their past success from last season fuels their belief as they look ahead.
The matchup against Falkirk represents a critical juncture for Aberdeen. It’s their first meeting with these folks in first-division play since 2010. Last year’s historical context gives this one an additional layer of intrigue for players and fans as well. The team remains keen on bringing momentum from their previous meetings into this latest battle.
At the same time, Hibernian’s clash with Dundee United offers a pivotal chance for them to pick up points and make ground in the league table. With Ivan Dolcek’s impressive scoring streak, Dundee United could pose a challenge, but Hibernian is hopeful that their strategic play will lead them to victory and help close the gap on the leaders.
