Dunfermline Athletic will host Aberdeen in a friendly this week as they build on a positive run of league form. The Pars, currently fifth in the Scottish Championship with 12 points from seven games, have won three of their last five outings.
Their most recent result was a 1-0 away win over Morton on September 19, with defender D. Lobban scoring the decisive goal. That victory extended a sequence that also includes a 2-0 home win against Queen's Park and a 1-1 draw at Arbroath. The team's full recent results are available on our stats page.
Opponent preview
Aberdeen arrive for the friendly following their own pre-season schedule, which included a 2-1 win over Queen's Park in July. The Dons, who play in the Scottish Premiership, last fielded a side in a 3-5-2 formation against Hibernian.
The match offers Dunfermline a chance to maintain momentum before their next competitive fixture. Ayr currently sit eighth in the table, four points behind Dunfermline.
