The Dons have had an exceptional run of form at home this season, emerging victorious in every game they have played on their home turf. Clarkson, well-aware of the influence of the Red Army’s unwavering support, knows that Pittodrie becomes a formidable battleground when the fans are behind their team, as demonstrated in their recent triumph over Rangers. Reflecting on their home record, the former Liverpool youngster remarked, “When Pittodrie is alive with energy, it becomes a daunting place for our opponents to visit.”
Looking ahead to their upcoming fixture on Wednesday night, Clarkson is relying on the backing of the home crowd to inspire them to success. The prospect of playing under the floodlights at Pittodrie is one that he relishes, highlighting the unique atmosphere created on such occasions. With Aberdeen currently sitting in second place in the league, trailing Celtic by just four points after a challenging run of three away games, the importance of their upcoming home fixture cannot be overstated.
Despite the mixed results on the recent away outings, Clarkson remains optimistic about their season. With only one league defeat so far, he is confident that the team can maintain their strong home form and continue their push towards their objectives. Addressing concerns about their form, he reassured, “I do not believe that our season has been derailed. While we may have only secured two points out of a possible nine in our recent away games, we are still in a strong position to achieve our goals, thanks to our impressive record at home.”
