Aberdeen gave themselves a massive boost last week in the battle for a third placed finish when they ended Hibs' long unbeaten run.
And they must go to one of their least favourites venues if they are going to keep on track when they face St Mirren in Paisley.
The Dons have enjoyed a fine couple of weeks after completing a capital double over Hearts in the Scottish Cup semi-final and Hibs in the league, which ended their 17-match league unbeaten run.
That drew them level with Hibs in third place, although the Leith club have a superior goal difference.
They face a Saints side who are celebrating after achieving a top six finish for the third seasn in a row – a remarkable accolade when you consider they are the only club outside the Old Firm who can say that
St Mirren missed far too many chances last week against Rangers and should have beaten them. They ended up having to settle for a draw.
On paper, they don't much to play for being eight points adrift in sixth spot, but a win and a Dundee United defeat could make it interesting for them.
How the bookies view it: Nothing between them say the layers
This bookies have this as super tight and make both sides 6/4 to get the three points according to Boylesports.
The draw is 23/10 with the same firm.
Recent head to heads: Saints have the hex on Dons.
Aberdeen have a really poor recent record in Paisley – they have failed to win on their last ten visits to Renfrewshire.
Saints have also won the last two meetings between the sides, with the Dons winning the first meeting this season.
Players to watch: Nisbet could be the bet
St Mirren captain Mark O'Hara is always a goal threat because he has a nice habit of appearing late in the box to drive shots at goal as he did last week against Rangers when he scored. He is 4/1 with bet365 to score anytime.
Kevin Nisbet netted an outrageous winner last week against Hibs and the on-loan Scotland international has been arevelation for the Dons recently. He is 5/2 with Unibet to score anytime.
Predicted line-ups:
St Mirren will be without top scorer Toyosi Olusanya after they sold him to Houston Dynamo.
Aberdeen's injury worries are clearing now with only Vicente Besuijen a long-term injury worry.
St Mirren: Hemming, Alebiouso, Taylor, O'Hara, Ayunga, Mandron, Gogic, Boyd-Munce, Fraser, John, Phillips.
Aberdeen: Aberdeen: Mitov, Jensen, Dorrington, Knoester, Shinnie, Okkels, Clarkson, Palaversa, Keskinen, Nisbet, Dabbagh.
Anything else catch the eye?
You could easily make a case for either team here.
St Mirren are relaxed, no pressure and have had the measure of the Dons this season, but there's a reason they are 11 points worse off than their opponents.
Aberdeen are in a good place, have to win to keep up the battle for third spot, have only lost once in 12 (at Celtic), but hate playing in Paisley.
So the obvious conclusion here is a draw.
Aberdeen's Ante Palaversa came up trumps last week for us when we backed him to get a card. This week, it could be worth backing St Mirren's former Aberdeen loanee Killian Phillips to see yellow. He's received three in his last eight games and will be at the centre of the action. Back him at 9/4 to be carded with bet365.
The Dons have looked more solid at the back recently and St Mirren don't give too much away at home. Back under 2.5 goals at 10/11 with Boylesports.
