There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Aberdeen leading Ross County by 15 points.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Scottish Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Kilmarnock.
Aberdeen form and stats
6 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Aberdeen have to build on here at Pittodrie Stadium in the Premiership. Game days at Pittodrie Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Aberdeen as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
A good away victory last time out for Aberdeen, who won 4-3 against Kilmarnock (after extra-time) (placed 7th). Preceding that match was the home Premiership game against Celtic that was lost 1-2.
A goal frenzy last time out for Aberdeen, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Kilmarnock (after extra-time). Fun stuff to watch!
The Aberdeen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 13 matches. Aberdeen have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Ross County form and stats
There's been little loot from Ross County's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the Premiership. Ross County, who have the most conceded goals (54) in Premiership, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
There were no winners in Ross County's previous match, a Premiership home game that ended 1-1 vs St. Johnstone (placed 8th). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Hibernian's place.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ross County as they have only managed to score 9 times from 14 away games in the league. For Ross County, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
