Aberdeen vs Rangers Predictions

Are Rangers About to Slip Again or Can They Hold Off a Resurgent Aberdeen?

• Defensive woes for Rangers: The Gers have conceded at least twice in all of their four league visits to the top four sides this season.
• Dons’ attacking form at Pittodrie: Aberdeen have scored two or more goals in three consecutive home league games, showing signs of offensive resurgence.
• High-scoring visitors: Rangers have bagged three or more goals in each of their last five away league fixtures, with fluidity in attack but fragility in defence.

Best Bet for Aberdeen vs Rangers

There’s tension brewing in the Scottish Premiership this weekend, and not just because Celtic are one result away from officially putting the title race out of its misery. Rangers head north to Pittodrie on Sunday needing to avoid defeat just to keep the maths from confirming their bitter rivals’ triumph. But beyond the numbers, there’s pride, pressure, and plenty of narrative as the Gers look to respond after a bruising few days on all fronts.

After a sobering 2-0 home loss to Hibernian last weekend that all but handed Celtic the crown, Rangers managed to muster a dogged, backs-to-the-wall draw in Europe. Facing Athletic Bilbao with ten men for over 75 minutes, they showed grit, organisation and, if we’re being honest, more than a little desperation to cling to a 0-0 result. Liam Kelly’s penalty stop and a handful of sharp saves were the only things standing between them and European heartbreak.

Now, though, it’s back to league business—and the context is tricky. Aberdeen are a team who’ve come through the eye of a storm. From leading the league in early November to crashing through a 14-match winless run that had their fans fearing another season written off, the Dons have managed to find their footing again. They’ve now suffered just one defeat in seven league matches, and suddenly, that early season confidence doesn’t feel like ancient history anymore.

There’s a sense of chaos about Rangers in the league lately. Even while they’ve been finding the net regularly—scoring three or more goals in five straight away league matches—they’ve also made a habit of leaking goals at an alarming rate. They’ve now let in two or more goals in six of their last eight league games and haven’t kept a clean sheet on the road in their last four outings.

Aberdeen, for their part, are now looking sharp again at home. They’ve scored twice in each of their last three fixtures at Pittodrie and come into this off the back of consecutive league wins, something they hadn’t achieved since their purple patch at the start of the campaign. With Morris and Nisbet in decent form and midfielders like Gueye and Clarkson stepping up creatively, they certainly have the weapons to hurt Rangers, especially a version of the Gers side that could be heavily rotated.

Barry Ferguson is likely to ring the changes again with the second leg against Bilbao looming. That rotation cost Rangers against Hibs, and while they’ll hope to avoid a similar disaster here, a patched-up defence without the likes of Kasanwirjo or Sterling is asking for trouble. The Dons will smell opportunity.

“Rangers have been thrilling going forward but incredibly shaky at the back, and against an Aberdeen side that’s rediscovered its attacking spark, we expect fireworks.”

Given both sides’ attacking form and the defensive uncertainties on show, this one has the makings of a classic. The safe money is on goals—and more than one for each team. A 2-2 draw feels like a fair shout, with both managers already eyeing up bigger midweek challenges and possibly taking their foot off the gas defensively.
