Rangers

LDDLDD 📉

Rangers will play in this fixture after a 1-1 Premiership stalemate versus Celtic.

In that match, Rangers managed 40% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Rangers was Cyriel Dessers (44'). Celtic had 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Adam Idah (57') scored for Celtic.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Rangers haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Rangers have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals along the way. That kind of pattern might not be continued into this next game, however.

Their past results show that Rangers:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Aberdeen in their last 2 games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 league games. Things will have to change soon.

Aberdeen

ℹ️ Team News: Rangers

Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Rangers boss Barry Ferguson to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Neraysho Kasanwirjo (Knee injury) won’t play.

In all likelihood, The Gers look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this one, handing starts to Liam Kelly, James Tavernier, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, Jefte, Nicolas Raskin, Connor Barron, Vaclav Cerny, Mohamed Diomande, Nedim Bajrami and Cyriel Dessers.

🗞️ Team News: Aberdeen

We are inclined to think that The Dons seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Dimitar Mitov, Nicky Devlin, Alfie Dorrington, Mats Knoester, Graeme Shinnie, Ante Palaversa, Leighton Clarkson, Shayden Morris, Jeppe Okkels, Topi Keskinen and Kevin Nisbet.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, Aberdeen may well find it hard to get a goal against a Rangers outfit who should win well here.

We reckon that it will be a very comprehensive 3-0 margin for Rangers at the end of this one.
