The hosts are currently sitting second in Group A with six points from two matches, while the visitors are in top spot through a superior goal difference.

A disappointing 2023-24 campaign from Aberdeen saw them fall from a third-placed finish in the prior season to placing ninth in the pre-split table and top of the relegation round in the post-split table.

Despite the poor league campaign, Aberdeen were at their best in the Scottish League Cup as they made it all the way to the final, where they played Celtic, ultimately losing on penalties after equalising in both the 90th and 119th minutes.

After Barry Robson and Neil Warnock departed during the season, Peter Leven served as interim manager for that final, with Jimmy Thelin ultimately being appointed as the new permanent manager ahead of this campaign.

Although they are yet to begin the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership, Thelin has already guided his side to two victories in the Scottish League Cup, beating Queen of The South 3-0 and East Kilbride 5-0, and he will be looking to continue that run here.

Airdrieonians head into the contest sitting at the top of Group A after two matches thanks to a superior goal difference than their hosts with an 8-0 victory over East Kilbride and 4-3 against Dumbarton.

Rhys McCabe’s side will be looking to go further than their fifth-round exit against Hearts last season, when they lost 4-1, and impressive victories in their last two matches will give them plenty of confidence.

The Diamonds have struggled away from home in recent times, picking up just 20 of their 52 points on the road last season with six wins and two draws from 18 Scottish Championship games.

A dominant 4-0 victory over East Kilbride could mean Thelin will name the same starting XI here, but he could decide to make changes in order to build match sharpness ahead of the new campaign.

Last season’s top scorer Bojan Miovski has failed to make an appearance in either of the last two matches, but with the Scottish Premiership kicking off in just two weeks, the striker is likely to start here.

Two impressive victories in their last two Scottish League Cup matches could leave Rhys McCabe opting to name a similar starting side in this game.

Ben Wilson has scored four goals across those two matches, even after starting on the bench last time out, and the striker is expected to lead the line here.
