Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction: Both sides are a good fit despite the odds

Rangers, who are now in third place, will play host to Aberdeen, who are currently in the zone for relegation, on Saturday. This matchup will pit clubs from opposite ends of the ladder in the Scottish Premiership. Although they are currently in a precarious position in the league standings, the away team comes into this match having already advanced in the Scottish League Cup.

Rangers - LWWWW

This coming weekend, Rangers will continue their pursuit of regaining the Scottish Premiership; however, they will face more pressure as a result of the fact that they are currently behind Celtic in the standings. The fact that the Gers are currently in second place in the league table, four points behind Celtic but also below St. Mirren, is something that places a significant amount of pressure on the team as it prepares to compete in these early-season matches. However, Michael Beale has been successful recently in bringing some consistency to his club, and they come into this weekend on the heels of four consecutive victories across all competitions. Rangers have been outstanding throughout that streak, not allowing a single goal to be scored against them while also scoring eight goals themselves, with half of those goals being scored in their most recent matchup. The Gers were dominant in their victory over Livingston in the Scottish League Cup last week. There were three different goal scorers, in addition to an own goal, and the game was an outstanding display that highlighted the abilities.

Aberdeen - LLLWW

The previous week, Aberdeen defeated Ross County 2-1 while they were away from their home stadium, advancing to the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup. The Dons were given an early lead by Graeme Shinnie, and Ester Sokler was able to win the victory for the Dons in the 80th minute, which gave the team some confidence. It was Aberdeen's second win in a row, as they also prevailed and took all three points in their most recent match in the Scottish Premier League, which also happened to be against Ross County, much like their match in the Scottish League Cup. That game was won by Aberdeen by a score of 4-0, with goals coming from Bojan Miovski, Duk, and Jamie McGrath. Aberdeen's manager, Barry Robson, will be hopeful that his team can continue their winning streak in the upcoming encounter. The Dons have a chance to climb out of the bottom three if they earn another three points this weekend and other outcomes go in their favor.

Rangers possible starting lineup:

Butland; Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Barisic; Cifuentes, Lundstram, Jack; Sima, Lammers, Dessers

Aberdeen possible starting lineup:

Roos; Gartenmann, Rubezic, Jensen; Devlin, Barron, Shinnie, McGarry, McGrath; Miovski, Duk

Expert Betting Tips

In contrast to how the bookies have it set up, this will be a very tight competition. On the other hand, given that I believe the home team will be performing at their highest level here, there should be a lot of offensive plays. In the interim, while Rangers are playing at home, you have the option of betting for the home team to win and for there to be goals scored by both teams.
