Week 3 brings us a match on Aug 13th where Aberdeen hosts Motherwell at Pittodrie Stadium in a clash of the Premiership. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Aberdeen is fresh off their 4-1 win against St. Mirren. Bojan Miovski scored the first goal for Aberdeen in the 24th minute from the penalty spot, then Bojan Miovski added another in the 37th minute. Aberdeen is looking for direction having 1 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Motherwell recorded a 1-2 loss against St. Johnstone. Jamie Murphy struck first for St. Johnstone in the 28th minute on a feed from Thelonius Bair, then Graham Carey tied it up for Motherwell on an own goal in the 1st minute of the second half’s stoppage time. Motherwell is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Motherwell won the head to head battle with 2 wins and 1 draw.
Ricky Lamie and Joseph Efford are the top scorers for Motherwell in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Aberdeen’s top weapon lately has been Bojan Miovski, who has two goals in the last 5 matches.
