Aberdeen vs Rangers Prediction: Rangers will win again

Rangers aim to extend their eight-match unbeaten streak across all competitions when they face Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership fixture on Sunday at Pittodrie Stadium. On the other hand, Aberdeen, currently positioned ninth in the table, will be keen on distancing themselves from the relegation zone with a positive result this weekend.

Aberdeen has faced a demanding start to the season, grappling with the challenges of participating in the Europa Conference League. The team has struggled to maintain consistent form, securing only three wins in their 11 Scottish Premiership fixtures so far. They have drawn three matches and suffered five defeats, placing them in the bottom half of the table. Currently, Aberdeen is just two points above the relegation zone, adding pressure on Barry Robson's team. A defeat could potentially drop them into the relegation zone, emphasizing the significance of a positive result. The recent heavy 6-0 defeat against Celtic is a result that Aberdeen will be eager to move past, recognizing the importance of goal difference in their league positioning.

Rangers, under the management of Philippe Clement, have displayed an impressive run of form, going unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions. While they face a challenge in narrowing the gap with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership standings, currently eight points behind, they have an opportunity to close it with a game in hand. In their recent outing before the international break, Rangers secured a 2-0 victory, with goals from Cyriel Dessers and James Tavernier. The clean sheet highlighted the team's solid defensive capabilities, as they currently boast the fewest goals conceded in the league.

Rangers' current strong form makes them the favorites in this fixture, especially facing an inconsistent Aberdeen side. The Gers' offensive prowess is expected to be a decisive factor, and they are likely to secure a victory and claim all three points in this encounter.
