Five points separate sixth-placed Aberdeen with St Johnstone in eighth, the hosts having just lost for the first time in the league and the visitors yet to win. Aberdeen made it six games without a victory after falling to defeat away to Motherwell at Fir Park, but still find themselves in the top six and just four points off top spot, highlighting how early it is in the season. There's no need to panic just yet, and the Dons will feel as though there's a great chance to get back to winning ways against a St Johnstone side in search of a maiden victory. Saints are traditionally slow starters, but not many would've predicted they'd go five league games without a win right at the start of the campaign. While the weekend didn't pan out the way that they'd have liked, particularly having gone ahead, there are plenty of positives to extract from the Rangers match. However, pressure will begin to build the longer they go without winning. Aberdeen could do with the win to keep tabs on the sides vying for Europe and Saints have to get off the mark sooner rather than later but neither are in particularly great fettle, which makes this match all the trickier to call. 1:1
