Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Scottish Premiership match.
Following in Celtic's footsteps, Rangers are expected to be the next team in the Scottish Premiership to secure their spot in the playoff stage. Aberdeen have recently struggled defensively, having been ousted from the top three by the sensational newcomers Dundee United.
Rangers
Rangers' victory over St. Johnstone (3:1) showcased their attacking prowess, netting three times by the 25th minute, including a brace from Mohamed Diomandé. Rangers have collected 31 out of a possible 33 points at home, scoring 28 goals in 11 matches, second only to Celtic. Even without injured John Souttar and James Tavernier, the Glasgow side are expected to dominate the chances, as they are in good form.
Aberdeen
Aberdeen's goalless draw against Hearts on Sunday extended their winless streak to 11 matches. In the last 10 league rounds, they have earned the fewest points (4) and conceded 18 goals—only St. Johnstone (20) and Ross County (21) have weaker defences. Since early October, Aberdeen have conceded 21 goals in eight away matches, suffering five defeats during this spell.
Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction
Midweek action is likely to witness an unequivocal victory for Rangers over Aberdeen. They are set to score at least three times against their crisis-stricken opponents.
