Aberdeen host Motherwell on Saturday with both sides having plenty to play for as the season reached the business end.
The Dons are in a battle with Hibs for that third spot and Dundee United are also thereabouts too.
Just when it looked like they were going to kick on again, they produced a dismal display in the last game before the international break in a dreadful goalless draw at St Johnstone.
To make matters worse for them, keeper Dimitar Mitov was injured on international duty with Bulgaria.
The Dons can take some heart from the fact they have lost just once in their last seven games and that was at Parkhead to Celtic.
Motherwell appear to have been rejuvenated under new boss Michael Wimmer.
Since his first game, which was a loss at Dundee United, he's guided them to a win over Dundee, a famous victory at Ibrox against Rangers and managed to fight back from being two goals down last week at home to St Mirren to rescue a point.
Despite losing six games in a row before that, Well are in a fight for a top six place.
How the bookies view it: Dons odds-on shots
Aberdeen are 4/6 to get the points at Pittodrie with Motherwell 7/2 outsiders and the draw 5/2 with Boylesports.
Recent head to heads: Spoils shared this season
There's been a win apiece at home for both clubs this season with Aberdeen winning 2-1 at Pittodrie and Well triumphing 2-0 at Fir Park.
Aberdeen have won three of the last four games at Pittodrie between the sides.
Players to watch: Could it be Oday's day?
Oday Dabbagh has impressed since he joined Aberdeen and the Palestinian international has already got on the scoresheet twice. He is 2/1 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Callum Slattery was Motherwell's hero before the international break when his double rescued a point for his side in a 2-2 draw with St Mirren. He is 8/1 to score anytime with Boylesports, which is an interesting price.
Predicted line-ups:
Aberdeen look like they will be without keeper Dimitar Mitov for a few weeks after a shoulder injury and Ross Doohan should replace him. They are also without Vincente Besuijen and Jamie McGrath.
Well are missing Shane Blaney, Sam Nicholson, Paul McGinn and Filip Stuparevic.
Aberdeen: Doohan, Jansen, Knoester, Dorrington, MacKenzie, Keskinen, Palaversa, Shinnie, Morris, Nesbit, Dabbagh
Motherwell: Balcombe, Casey, O'Donnell, Gordon, Andrews, Miller, Sparrow, Halliday, Slattery, Thompson, Watt.
Anything else catch the eye?
It would take a brave punter to steam into Aberdeen at odds-on and the call here is for a Motherwell side full of confidence to get at least a draw on the double chance at 11/10 with Boylesports.
Aberdeen are just too inconsistent to be trusted at the moment and Well can take a point back to Lanarkshire at least.
The Dons are a side who play with width and tend to get plenty of corners. Motherwell somehow didn't win a single one last week despite being at home and chasing a two-goal deficit.
Back the Dons to win minus two on the corners handicap at 5/6 with bet365.
