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.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
