Rangers form and stats

Rangers have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Premiership. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Rangers, as their goalkeeper Jack Butland has completely shut out the opponents for 225 minutes in the Premiership.

Rangers's previous match was a League Cup game also played at their own arena, ending 4-0 against Livingston. The home side are looking to repeat that performance.

Before that, Rangers had a Premiership home game versus Motherwell which ended with a victory 1-0.

Some betting-related information: This club have finished 6 league rounds in a row with only one (or none) club scoring.

Aberdeen form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premiership for Aberdeen with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.

Two away matches in a row for Aberdeen, whose manager Robson could celebrate last time after the League Cup win against Ross County.

That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Ross County in the Premiership.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Aberdeen's match history for similar games we find 5 matches. The home team won 4 of these as expected, 3 of them by at least two goals. Aberdeen managed 1 draw and 0 surprise wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Aberdeen as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Aberdeen have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - two - one (Rangers wins - draws - Aberdeen wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
