Dons aim to continue perfect start

Soccer Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - Aberdeen, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aberdeen enters the weekend on top of the Scottish Premier League table with two wins from its first two games, and the Dons will look to make it three wins from three matches on Saturday when they host Kilmarnock.

Aberdeen has beaten Hamilton and St Johnstone in the league so far this season, and they continued their positive start with a 3-0 win at Alloa in the league cup in midweek.

But the win at Alloa came at a cost as midfielder Fraser Fyvie suffered a season-ending knee injury, while Sone Aluko has yet to recover from an Achilles injury and will miss out on Saturday's game.

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee is obviously pleased with his club's strong start, but he also knows that somewhere down the line, his team will suffer a set back.

"Somewhere along the line we will have a set back," McGhee told the club's official website. "The better you are when you have that set back and the stronger you are then the easier it will be to recover from it. If we can keep this going for a while yet, then certainly the day we have a set back then we will overcome it."

Kilmarnock is coming off of a 6-2 win over Airdrie United in midweek in league cup action, but they have yet to record a point this season in the league after losses to both Rangers and Motherwell.

Celtic had a disastrous time in midweek in Europa League qualifying as they lost 4-0 to Utrecht to find themselves eliminated from the competition. The Hoops will try to rebound with a win at Motherwell, while Rangers is hoping to win its third straight game to start the season when they host St Johnstone.

Hamilton has lost its first two matches by a combined score of 8-0, and they will visit Inverness, while the other match this weekend features St Mirren entertaining Hibernian.
