Saturday's Scottish Premiership fixtures including Aberdeen vs. Ross County

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Scottish Premiership fixtures, including Aberdeen vs. Ross County.

Aberdeen welcome Ross County to Pittodrie on Saturday afternoon, with the home side looking to improve their form after a recent slump that has seen them go four games in all competitions without a win.

The Staggies have enjoyed mixed fortunes against the Old Firm in their last two games, with midfielder Michael Gardyne involved in controversy during last weekend's home defeat to Rangers.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 Ross County


We are backing Derek McInnes's side to return to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 win over the struggling Staggies on Saturday.

Aberdeen have faltered in recent weeks, but they still have too much quality to be overly concerned about Ross County, who have been mired in controversy after their drubbing at the hands of Rangers last week.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Hamilton vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hamilton Academical entertain an in-form Hibernian side at the Fountain of Youth Stadium in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Brian Rice's side ended an eight-game winless run in the league last time out against Kilmarnock and will be full of confidence heading into the weekend, but face a tricky task in the shape of third-placed Hibs.

We say: Hamilton Academical 2-4 Hibernian


Despite Hamilton coming into this one on the back of some good results, when Ross's charges are on top form, there are not many domestic sides who can handle them. If Hibs hit their stride, then they should run out comfortable winners.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Motherwell vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Motherwell welcome bottom side St Mirren to Fir Park for a Scottish Premiership clash on Saturday afternoon, with the Steelmen looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Hibernian last weekend.

The Buddies travel after a week when the club reacted angrily to a decision by an SPFL tribunal to award them a suspended £4,000 fine and two defeats in the wake of a coronavirus outbreak at the club earlier this season.

We say: Motherwell 1-1 St Mirren


We think that a draw looks the most likely result in Lanarkshire on Saturday, with 1-1 looking a probable scoreline.

St Mirren are a hard team to beat these days, and would have beaten Aberdeen last week but for a desperate last-minute goalline clearance from the Dons. The Saints do struggle to score enough goals to finish teams off, however, and they are away from home on Saturday.

Motherwell will want to be more resilient after folding in the second half of last week's game with Hibs, but don't possess sufficient quality or momentum currently to puncture the Buddies' unbeaten run.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

St Johnstone are set to welcome Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, with the hosts currently on a six-game unbeaten run, having picked up a 1-1 draw against Celtic in their latest league fixture.

Livingston, meanwhile, will also be in high spirits heading into this game, after beating Dundee United 2-0 last weekend.

We say: St Johnstone 1-0 Livingston


St Johnstone are expected to get the win on Saturday afternoon, with the hosts currently possessing a strong home record against Livingston. Although the visitors managed an impressive victory against Dundee last time round, they have struggled on the road, therefore a win at McDiarmid Park seems unlikely.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
