Aberdeen v Dunfermline

The controversial Friday night fixture in Aberdeen will be the 100th league meeting between the clubs. The Dons have won twice as many as Dunfermline and the Pars three Premier League wins at Pittodrie came in 1997 (2-0 and 2-1) and in 2003 (2-1).  Both teams are without a win in their last four SPL matches so there will not doubt be a fierce contest for the all important league points.

 Dunfermline lost 3-0 on their last league trip to Pittodrie in February 2007 and it was August 2003 (2-1) when the Pars last took three points back down the A90 thanks to goals from Brewster and Nicholson. Memories are still fresh of the two more recent Scottish Cup ties at Pittodrie against the Dons. The last was a desperately disappointing Sunday when the home side snatched away the chance of a replay back at East End with a late own goal from Neil McGregor.

Aberdeen get the winning goal

Two seasons before that the cup story was somewhat different.  A replay after a 1-1 draw in Fife was followed by a penalty shoot out success 4-2 after it was 0-0 at the end of extra time. That saw the Pars through for a Semi Final pairing with Falkirk.

Sitting in eleventh place, Aberdeen`s solitary win from their 9 SPL matches was a 2-1 over Inverness Caley Thistle in August.  The Pars only league wins in the SPL this season have both come on the road and they will be trying hard to make that three.

The sides have a common factor in being knocked out of the Scottish Communities League Cup by East Fife.  Aberdeen had cup success at home against Dundee but their 1-0 defeat at Motherwell was the seventh time in an SPL match this season in which they have failed to score.
