Aberdeen vs Rangers Prediction: will the Gers bounce back to win this match

Saturday's round 7 matches of the 2022 Scottish Premiership will be between Aberdeen and Rangers at the Pittodrie Stadium. The rangers lost their last Champions League game against Ajax, so they and their traveling fans will be hoping for a better result here. But the home team hopes to win after tying Ross County 1-1 last weekend.

In the already played last five fixtures of the season, Aberdeen has a two wins, two draws, and a losing record, with wins against St. Johnstone and Livingston and a loss to Motherwell, while a tie against Annan Athletic and Ross County. Aberdeen scored nine goals and allowed nine. During the current league season, Aberdeen has averaged 2.17 goals per game. The home team's disciplinary record reads six cautions for an average of 8.50 fouls per game. An average of 6.86 points per game is Aberdeen's average team rating. Jim Goodwin will have his work cut out to prevent the Rangers from penetrating their defense. Currently, they are in third place, three points behind the Rangers.

After getting blown out by Celtic at Celtic Park by a score of 3-0 over the weekend, the visiting team's bad luck did not end until they faced the Dutch champions, Ajax FC, on Tuesday. Against PSV, Ross County, and Queen of the South, Rangers has won three of their last five matches leading up to this one. Their matches against Celtic and Ajax ended in defeat, while none of their other matches ended in a draw. In those contests, the team's goal differential was minus 8. Rangers averaged 2.33 goals per game when on the road and allowed an average of 1.17 goals against. There were 64 fouls committed, 12 yellow cards issued, and two red cards received. Overall, opponents give the Rangers a 6.88 average grade. Since the visitors' chances of winning the UEFA League are far lower than the Premier League, they will prioritize winning this match before their next European match next Tuesday against a strong Napoli side.

The head-to-head record between Aberdeen and Rangers is quite respectable; the two teams have played each other 50 times throughout the last few seasons, with Aberdeen taking ten victories and Rangers 26. Fourteen games were tied at the finish. Aberdeen scored 42 goals in the head-to-head matchups, while the Rangers scored 80. In recent head-to-head matchups, the Gers have a 3-0 advantage over Aberdeen. Three or more goals have been scored in five of Rangers' past six matches. Over that span, a total of 3.5 goals have been scored per game, with Rangers contributing 1.67 on average. We anticipate a similar outcome to the last encounter, with Rangers coming out on top.
