Well striker Lukas Jutkiewicz is in good form but needs a bit of help on the goalscoring front.
This will be a close one with the Dons just edging it.
Prediction: 2-1
Hamilton v Celtic (1230)
Hamilton look as though they could get sucked into the relegation dogfight this season.
They're lacking a cutting edge and don't have a regular goalscorer.
Accies secured a much-needed point against Kilmarnock after that drubbing by Hibs but I can't see them getting anything against Tony Mowbray's side.
Celtic aren't struggling going forward at the moment but their balance isn't right. They're lacking steel, bite, and need to learn how to grind out victories.
The visitors can't afford to fall further behind league leaders Rangers and I don't think they'll slip up at New Douglas Park.
Prediction: 0-2
Hibernian v St Mirren
What can you say about Hibs? The 5-1 thrashing of Hamilton and an excellent 2-1 win over Celtic shows that the Edinburgh side are realising their potential.
The arrival of Anthony Stokes alongside big Colin Nish and Derek Riordan means they're even more dangerous than last year.
They're looking more solid at the back and not losing many goals. Hibs have good balance in their team and are looking strong in midfield.
St Mirren did okay against Rangers in midweek but they don't score enough goals; it's a home win for me.
Prediction: 2-0
Kilmarnock v Dundee United
This is a huge game for Kille. I worry for them and it's games like this where they need to take points.
They need a spark from somewhere as the whole squad appear to be lacking confidence.
Their only goal since Jimmy Calderwood was appointed manager was Manuel Pascali's fluke in the Scottish Cup victory over Falkirk!
They have to take something against United. Peter Houston's side can be scintillating at times, with the ability to score goals throughout the team.
But they're also conceding and I can see a couple of goals in this one, probably ending in a draw.
Prediction: 1-1
Rangers v Falkirk
Rangers can win games this season by playing great football and also by digging in. Even against the Buddies, they managed to shore up the midfield when they were struggling to ensure they secured victory.
I cant' see anything other than a Rangers win. Falkirk got a decent point against Well but really anything they get will be a bonus.
Rangers want to keep their momentum going at the top of the table and I think they'll win this one against the Bairns.
Prediction: 3-1
St Johnstone v Hearts
I was at this fixture earlier this season and it was a cracker. Everyone keeps praising Saints' team spirit and the fact they're scoring goals.
Peter MacDonald is on form and banging in the goals.
Hearts - where do you start? They're the opposite of Celtic: too defensive, but no balance in the team with next to no threat going forward. Only Michael Stewart looks dangerous; it's not enough for them to really kick on in the league.
Two different styles will be on show at McDiarmid Park and I think a draw's on the cards.
Prediction: 1-1
