Aberdeen vs Ross County Prediction: Home team to get back to winning ways

The match between Aberdeen and Ross County for round 20 of the Scottish Premiership will take place at the Pittodrie Stadium on Monday. This match will mark the first time in 2023 that both teams will compete against one another. Both teams will enter the new year on a losing streak of four games in a row; thus, they will be trying to turn around their poor play and improve their standing in the league standings.

When Aberdeen and Kilmarnock met at the Rugby Park Stadium in Aberdeen on the previous Wednesday, Aberdeen was defeated by Kilmarnock by a score of 2-1. Aberdeen's losing streak in the Premiership continued with this result. Despite having less than 40% of the ball in possession and spending the majority of the game on defense, the home team was able to take a two-goal lead thanks to goals scored against the run of play by Scott Robinson and Joe Wright. Matthew Kennedy was able to bring the score within one goal with his goal in the 91st minute. Since winning 1-0 against Dundee United on November 12, Aberdeen have now lost each of their past four matches, which is their longest run of successive defeats since losing five in a row in October 2021. Jim Goodwin's team is now in fourth place in the Scottish Premiership league, one spot below fifth-placed St. Mirren, and tied on 25 points with them after 19 rounds of play because of their recent string of dismal performances.

The team coached by Malky Mackay also failed to pick up any points in their most recent match, which took place at Tannadice Park and was against Dundee United. The team was defeated by Dundee United by a score of 3-0. The Terrors were able to pick up their fourth win of the season thanks to an own goal scored by Connor Randall in the first half of the game, as well as goals scored by Charlie Mulgrew and Craig Sibbald in the second half of the contest. Owura Edwards was also given his walking papers during this game. Since their 2-0 victory at Hibernian on November 8, Ross County have gone on a run of four straight league defeats, scoring two goals and allowing eight in that span. The Staggies have played 19 matches so far this season and have a record of four wins, three draws, and twelve losses. As a result, they have accumulated a total of 15 points and are currently in last place in the Premiership table.

Aberdeen and Ross County are coming into Monday's match on a losing streak of four games in a row, and they are hoping that a victory against the other team would help them get off to a strong start in the new year. We believe that Aberdeen will break their winless streak against the Staggies since they have been one of the most dominant teams while playing at Pittodrie this season. As a result, our forecast calls for a victory for the home team and a total of more than 1.5 goals to be scored.
