Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction: Rangers expected to take all chance here

Rangers and Aberdeen will vie for the first silverware of the season in the Scottish League Cup final on Sunday. The Gers boast an undefeated streak in their last 14 matches across all competitions, while the Dons enter the final on the back of a triumph in the Europa Conference League.

Rangers enter this match with a significant boost of confidence, holding the record for the most Scottish League Cup victories. Their impressive form across all competitions adds to their assurance, having remained undefeated in their last 14 matches. Despite the setback of a 2-1 defeat against Celtic in the final last season, the Gers are determined to make amends this season, aiming for success to delight their fans and showcase genuine progress.

Maintaining an undefeated streak since the beginning of October, Philippe Clement's team carries a strong belief, especially after a hard-fought triumph against Real Betis in the midweek fixture. Goals from Abdallah Sima, Cyriel Dessers, and Kemar Roofe secured a 3-2 victory in the Europa League, marking the second consecutive game in which they found the back of the net three times.

Aberdeen is set on causing an upset in the final as they aim to secure victory in this league cup showdown. The Dons can draw confidence from their recent success in the Europa Conference League group stage, where they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt with goals from Duk and Ester Sokler, managing to keep a clean sheet. A resilient defensive performance will be crucial in this final, considering the attacking prowess of their opponents.

Barry Robson's team earned their spot in the final after a hard-fought battle against Hibernian, with Bojan Miovski's 78th-minute goal proving to be the decisive factor. Aberdeen has demonstrated its ability to pose challenges for Rangers earlier in the season, securing a win and a draw in their two encounters. This history suggests that the Dons are capable of overcoming the Gers in what promises to be a closely contested match.

In what has been a challenging season for both clubs, expectations are higher for Rangers, and given the opportunity this matchup presents for a significant win, I am predicting them to secure victories in both halves. Additionally, I anticipate a strong defensive performance, making it unlikely for Aberdeen to score in this match.
