Aberdeen host champions Celtic at Pittodrie on Wednesday in a dress rehearsal for the Scottish Cup Final in ten days time.
It's the penultimate game of the season and they are approaching the showpiece at Hampden in contrasting form.
The Dons slumped to a dreadful 4-0 hammering from Rangers at Ibrox in one of their worst displays of the season.
They were incredibly passive, horrific at ball retention and completely collapsed when Rangers scored the first goal. Defensively, they were all over the shop too.
It leaves them in a real battle for fourth place, never mind third with Hibs three points ahead and with a far superior goal difference.
Celtic were too good for Hibs at the weekend and the suspicion that they may have downed tools with the league already in the bag was well and truly blown away.
Brendan Rodgers picked his strongest team against Hibs and you would expect them to try and put down a marker for the Cup Final in the north east too
How the bookies view it: Celtic primed at Pittodrie
Celtic are strong favourites for the win here at 11/20 with Boylesports. The Dons can be backed at 15/4 with the draw 3/1 with the same firm.
Recent head to heads: Dons woeful record
Celtic have dished out a couple of hidings to Aberdeen already this season – 6-0 in the League Cup semi-final and 5-1 at Parkhead. They also won 1-0 in a hard-fought game at Pittodrie in December.
Aberdeen have failed to defeat Celtic at Pittodrie for nine years.
Players to watch: Adam on form
Kevin Nisbet was surprisingly dropped by Jimmy Thelin for the trip to Ibrox on Sunday, but you would expect him to be reinstated on Wednesday and he is 11/4 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Adam Idah has now scored five goals in his last four games for Celtic and the Irish international looks to be in fine form. He is 13/8 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Predicted line-ups:
Aberdeen are without injured duo Gavin Molloy, Sivert Heltne Nilsen and Vicente Besuijen this week.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has said he will play keeper Viljami Sinisalo instead of fit-again Kasper Schmeichel.
Aberdeen: Mitov, Jansen, Knoester, Tobers, Shinnie, Palavarsa, Clarkson, Keskinen, McGrath, Morris, Nisbet.
Celtic: Sinisalo, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, Engels, Forrest, McGregor, Hatate, Maeda, Idah.
Anything else catch the eye?
Aberdeen are usually far better at home than away, but if they turn in a similar passive performance as they did at Ibrox, they could be on the end of another whipping.
Celtic seem to be improving if anything and have so many options in their squad if they needed a goal. They can take advantage of Aberdeen's fragile confidence by winning haf time and ful time at 6/4 with Boylesports.
This should be an entertaining affair and while Celtic should heve far too much bstrength in depth for the hosts, Jimmy Thelin's side can at least contribute to the scoring though. Back both teams to score and an away win at 2/1 with Boylesport.
Aberdeen do tend to win plenty of corners at home because they play with width – back them to win at least five at an enticing 7/5 with UniBet.
