Aberdeen to win the Scottish Premiership Odds

Remember when Aberdeen reigned supreme in Scottish football? Their last league title came back in 1985, a testament to the dominance of Sir Alex Ferguson's legendary side. Since then, the Premiership trophy has remained elusive and ultimately, Aberdeen haven't come close to success since 1990 when Rangers beat them to win the title in an epic end-of-season clash.

However, with new manager Jimmy Thelin at the helm, a fresh wave of optimism sweeps across Pittodrie. Known for his tactical acumen and ability to develop young talent, Thelin will be looking to make his mark on Scottish football. Can he inspire a squad featuring the likes of Irish international Jamie McGrath to defy the odds and bring the title back to Aberdeen?

Aberdeen's most recent approach is particularly interesting because the Swedish manager Thelin, is only the third non-Scottish manager in the clubs history, with Ebbe Skovdahl and Jim Goodwin having particularly forgettable spells in charge of the club, can Thelin be the first non-Scottish manager to make an impact?

Aberdeen odds to win a Cup competition

While the league title drought continues, Aberdeen have somewhat tasted success in cup competitions, lifting the Scottish League Cup in 2014. However, Aberdeen's success hasn't replicated that of what you would expect from a club that deem themselves as Scotland's third biggest club.

Last season saw them come agonizingly close to adding more silverware to the cabinet, falling just short in both domestic cups. The memory of their dramatic Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic, a penalty shootout loss after a thrilling 3-3 draw, will undoubtedly fuel their desire this time around. With a squad eager to right the wrongs of last season and a manager known for his tactical prowess, Aberdeen could be a shrewd bet to lift a cup this year.

How Did Aberdeen Perform Last Season?

Last season was a mixed bag for The Dons, ultimately ending in disappointment but with glimpses of promise along the way. In the Premiership, performances were significantly below par with their finish of 7th only being worsened once since 2012/13.

The disappointing league campaign rightfully cost former manager Jim Goodwin his job but if there was a reason to keep Goodwin, it was their performances in Cup Competitions, which provided moments of excitement and heartbreak in equal measure. They reached the final of the Scottish League Cup, only to be edged out 1-0 by Rangers. The Scottish Cup saw them navigate their way to the semi-finals, where they faced Celtic in a 3-3 draw that ultimately ended in penalty shootout heartache, with Aberdeen losing 5-6.

While domestic cup competitions proved fruitful, European adventures proved short-lived, with early exits in both the Europa League and Europa Conference League. However, a resounding 2-0 victory over German giants Eintracht Frankfurt in their final European outing provided the club with their first European group stage victory since 2007!

What can we expect from Aberdeen this season?

The appointment of Jimmy Thelin signals a new era at Pittodrie. The Swedish manager arrives with a strong reputation, known for his attacking brand of football and ability to build competitive teams. The early signs have been positive, and with the creative spark of Jamie McGrath pulling the strings in midfield, Aberdeen possess the quality to trouble any team on their day.

Whether they can sustain a consistent challenge for the league title remains to be seen, but a strong cup run is certainly within their grasp. Don't be surprised if the Dons pick up their first cup win since 2013-14 this campaign.
