Aberdeen vs Rangers tips and predictions

Premiership match offers big price against home triumph

It's unlikely the home win will have caught many people's attention but the short price favourites are just too short.

The hosts go into the match having made sure of 5 home wins from their last 6. Depending on who you listen to, you might have heard Rangers are nailed on for this; but that doesn't sound sensible.

The Dons need to accept that their chances are likely to come against the run of play. If the hosts really get this done it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent performances. They scored two or more goals in all of their recent 3 home matches and this has been supported from box-to-box. At the back they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 5 games.

When tested away from home Rangers have conceded at least once in 6 of their last 8 matches. And the home side's defenders will be desperately looking for evidence that they don't need to prepare for mayhem. In front of goal The Gers have looked underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in 2 of their last 3 away matches.

Despite the clear favouritism for Rangers it will be great to see Aberdeen catch them cold. It is not the best bet in today's schedule but the Yes BTTS bet is the tentative side bet. What about total goals? Well it's less than four goals that stands out here given the current prices.

So Rangers are obviously legitimate favourites but they are just too short to back. It will come down to which set of players takes their chances. There could be some evidence that the gap between the two sides might not be as wide as you think. Sometimes it just takes a half-chance. Aberdeen to win has to be the value.
