Match preview

Sam Cosgrove can net for Aberdeen in what is unlikely to be a classic at St Mirren.

The Dons are playing poor football as pressure builds on manager Derek McInnes.

St Mirren aren't exactly renowned for their silky, free-flowing, passing game either and a goal glut is not anticipated.

Aberdeen are hugely reliant on giant striker Cosgrove, who has been a revelation since he was plucked from Carlisle's reserves.

If they are going to make the breakthrough, it's likely to be from Cosgrove, who has scored 21 goals in all competitions this term.

Key stat

Sam Cosgrove has netted 37 per cent of Aberdeen's league goals this season
