**Dunfermline head to East End Park looking to flex on a weakened Aberdeen outfit.** This friendly's got a proper edge — Peterhead's in decent touch while the Dons are dealing with bodies out. 🔴

Dunfermline's hit 2W-1D-2L form lately, cracking 3 and 2 goals in their last two wins. Aberdeen though? **Patchy** — one win in five and missing three defenders to injury, which isn't ideal when you're trying to build momentum.

Key storylines:

- **Dunfermline's attack** (Kane, Kearney, A. Tod) should find room against an injury-hit Aberdeen backline featuring Happe and Mayo
- **Aberdeen's midfield balance** without B. Lyons and the crew means relying on Afeez and C. Ronan to hold the fort
- H2H slightly favors Aberdeen (2-1 record), but form and fitness swing this Peterhead's way 📊

Expected lineups:

- **Dunfermline Athletic**: B. Terrell, J. Tod, K. Benedictus, R. Fraser, C. Morrison, C. Gilmour, C. Kane, S. Kearney
- **Aberdeen**: M. Müller, N. Guinness-Walker, L. Mayo, D. Happe, C. Cadden, A. Afeez, K. Nisbet

Prediction:

**Dunfermline 2-1 Aberdeen.** The hosts have the form and the fitness advantage here — should be enough to edge a depleted visitor.
