We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Aberdeen form and stats
Aberdeen are steadily winning Premiership games and points here at Pittodrie Stadium. 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 8 games.
An away draw last time out for Aberdeen, facing St. Mirren in a game that ended 1-1. A League Cup defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at St. Mirren.
Aberdeen's goalie Joe Lewis played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against St. Mirren with a stunning eight saves.
A decent goal production from Aberdeen in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Aberdeen's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Ross County form and stats
There's been little loot from Ross County's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Premiership. Ross County only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for County as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the St. Johnstone match.
Ross County might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rangers proved too strong as Ross County slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Global Energy Stadium. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Celtic.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Rangers was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
County has another fixture away, a League Cup game, against Livingston in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting County as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. County's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
