Aberdeen: 46 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season. St. Mirren: 46 league matches in the bank, 8 from this season and the rest from last season.
The question this step asks
Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.
The two sides
Aberdeen -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 2 of 4, scoring 2 and conceding 3. Last season at home: won 7, drew 5, lost 7 of 19, scoring 28 and conceding 23 -- 1.37 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to St. Johnstone 0-1 at home; drew with Hibernian 1-1 away; beat Motherwell 4-0 away; drew with Kilmarnock 0-0 at home; lost to Celtic 0-3 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 31 matches with one recorded (16, 15 apiece), most recently Stephen Robinson with 15. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
St. Mirren -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 0, lost 2 of 4, scoring 3 and conceding 6. Last season away: won 3, drew 4, lost 12 of 19, scoring 19 and conceding 33 -- 0.68 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Hearts 0-5 away; lost to Dundee United 0-3 at home; lost to Rangers 0-1 away; lost to Celtic 1-2 at home; beat Kilmarnock 1-0 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 17 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Stephen Robinson. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
