This is a match in the Scottish Premier League, where Aberdeen will be lurking horns with Rangers at the Pittodrie Stadium. For this clash, the visitors are considered the big favorite to win at the Pittodrie Stadium tonight, and also they are more well-known in Scotland. They have many times been crowned national champions and have a bit of a name in the European arena. However, they are only 2 points better than Aberdeen right now and it is hard to say that Gerrard's team will easily beat the home team.
ABERDEEN
The host Aberdeen is currently sitting in the 3rd position with 46 points after having managed to record a total of 14 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats since the start of the league campaign. The host Aberdeen are currently eight points behind league leaders Celtic. In fact, the championship is not the initial goal they set when the season starts. But if they could beat the Rangers tonight while Celtic were on the move, the chances for Aberdeen will be more open than ever. Aberdeen has played very well at home since the league kicks start, and it will be hard for the guest to get a positive result tonight at the pittordrie stadium.
RANGERS
The visitors Rangers are currently sitting at the second position on the league rankings with 48 points and just 6 points adrift the league leaders Celtic. For tonight's clash, Steven Gerrard's Rangers are showing signs of not slowing down at all just to catch up with Celtic on the league rankings, and it's more obvious that the players are all playing their absolute best under the new manager. However, Rangers are playing against an in-form Aberdeen side who have won 7 out of their last 10 matches. In addition to the available home advantage, it is likely that Rangers will have a match bogged down by Aberdeen and a draw is relatively likely to occur.
PRE-MATCH FACT
- Aberdeen have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches against Rangers in all competitions.
- Aberdeen have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Rangers' last 3away games.
PREDICTION
For this game, the visitors Rangers are slight favorites looking at the odds but Aberdeen can surely raise their game for the big occasion and they have shown that in their recent match that they are a match for Rangers winning 2 and drawing 2 of their last 4 games. This game is definitely gonna be a tight match, with Aberdeen also on the hunt for the league title. The three points are up for grabs and I believe the both teams will be playing their finest football tonight, which might lead to a goal fest.
