History of the Partick Thistle v Aberdeen fixture

Partick Th. prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Firhill Stadium on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 91 games played, Jags have recorded 42 wins, and Aberdeen have come away with 31 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firhill Stadium was just last season, in November 2002, the Jags carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Jags have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Dons have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Partick Th. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 5 points. Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 15 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Partick Th. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Jags will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Partick Th. 8 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 10 .
Aberdeen Not won in previous 3 away matches.
