Tense top table thriller in Premiership as Aberdeen have come the 124 miles needed to reach Rangers at their Ibrox Stadium.
- Rangers have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (5) in Premiership
- Aberdeen have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Premiership
Little time to rest for the hosts, as they were involved in a Champions League fixture only three days ago. That game was an away game at Napoli, so at least Rangers are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Rangers form and stats
Home games in the Premiership have been a walk in the park for Rangers so far, with 16 points won from 6 matches; 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
The fans hope that Rangers will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Champions League fixture against Napoli. The versatile forward Sakala outshone all teammates in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.02 out of 10. Sakala hit one key pass.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Livingston that ended 1-1.Rangers are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 8 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 6, drew 2 and lost 0.
Scoring bonanza? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 9 of the 11 latest league games with this team has had at least three goals.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Ajax are coming to town in three days.
Goals are plentiful at Ibrox Stadium in the league this season as Rangers has scored 17 goals here in 6 home games. Defensively Rangers have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 6 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Aberdeen form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premiership travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Aberdeen play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Motherwell (placed 8th). Which player has bagged at least one goal three matches in a row for the away team? The answer is Duk and that is impressive! Barron got a match rating of 7.4 in that game, top player of the team. Barron served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Before that game, the win at home against Partick Thistle in the League Cup (4-1).
