Aberdeen FC's 2026 Premiership form is the worst in the division, a fact that brings their upcoming match against Kilmarnock into sharp focus. According to a statistical analysis by the BBC, Aberdeen have suffered 15 league defeats this calendar year, at least two more than any other side.
The historical record against Kilmarnock offers a mixed picture for Stephen Robinson's side. Aberdeen have won four of the last five league meetings between the clubs, a strong recent run. However, this follows a period where they lost four of the previous five. Kilmarnock's last victory at Pittodrie came in December 2023 under former Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes.
The BBC's data reveals a challenging pattern for manager Stephen Robinson against Scotland's traditional powerhouses. He has lost 21 Premiership games as a manager against Celtic and 20 against Rangers. His record against Kilmarnock is also difficult, with 12 defeats, though he has won two of his last three home games against them. This context is vital as Aberdeen currently sit 10th in the Premiership with just four points from five matches.
Aberdeen's recent results have been poor, with a draw and two losses in their last three outings, including a 3-0 defeat to Celtic. They have also failed to score in each of their last three league games in 2026. Kilmarnock, meanwhile, have lost all four of their Premiership matches this season, a start reminiscent of Dundee's opening five losses in 2018-19. The teams last met on 5 September, playing out a 0-0 draw.
The immediate task is to break their scoring drought and convert historical home advantage into points. Kilmarnock have lost nine of their last ten league trips to Aberdeen, including the last four in a row. Aberdeen's next challenge is an away fixture against 5th-placed Motherwell on 15 September.
