Aberdeen FC

Kilmarnock

• Kilmarnock have won one, tied three and lost seven of their 11 home matches in the Premiership 2025/2026.
• Kilmarnock are winless in their last five games across all competitions (D1, L4).
• **Kilmarnock’s boss, Neil McCann, is a pragmatist at heart and will set his side up with a solid low block with his team to pack the midfield and use the wing-backs to counter.

Aberdeen

• Aberdeen FC are on a two-match winning streak after their 6-2 thrashing of FC Livingston was followed by a win at Raith Rovers in the Scottish FA Cup.
• Peter Leven has been in interim charge of the Dons since early January 2026 and appears to have inherited a team in the midst of tactical transition.
• Thelin’s side played an intense pressing game with plenty of possession when he took over, but Leven’s team has been far more pragmatic.
