Aberdeen v Rangers

Aberdeen vs Rangers Preview

The pick of these midweek fixtures in the Scottish top flight features this upcoming clash between Aberdeen and Rangers with six points separating the two clubs ahead of this encounter at Pittodrie, with Aberdeen heading into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 home win against Dundee United, while Rangers also registered all three points by way of a 2-1 home win against St Mirren.

Aberdeen have emerged as the surprise package so far in this season's Scottish Premiership campaign as The Dons currently occupy second place with only goal difference separating them from the league leaders, Celtic, but nevertheless the hosts still remain unbeaten this term, picking up no fewer than eight wins and a draw within their opening nine games.

Wednesday night's hosts have picked up where they left off from the end of last season's Premiership campaign which saw Aberdeen finish last season with a solid looking nine-game unbeaten sequence which included picking up six wins in the process.

Throw in another nine games unbeaten so far this season, and you can see Jimmy Thelin's side are now 18 games without defeat along with collecting no fewer than 14 victories along the way which gives The Dons a very decent chance of recording a result here at Pittodrie.

Rangers sit in third spot in the Scottish Premiership table but the visitors find themselves six points adrift of their upcoming hosts, Aberdeen, prior to this top three encounter at Pittodrie despite bouncing back immediately from a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock in their previous game.

Phillipe Clement's side recorded a welcome 2-1 home win against St Mirren on the weekend which will have been a relief for the Rangers camp but although the visitors have suffered just two defeats so far this season, these have resulted in The ‘Gers playing catch-up with both their Old Firm rivals Celtic but also Aberdeen as well.

The bigger picture shows Rangers have been handed just four defeats within their previous 18 league matches in the Scottish top flight which of course still gives the Glasgow outfit plenty of reasons to be upbeat about their chances prior to Wednesday night's clash.

In addition, Rangers have collected 10 wins within these previous 18 league matches in the domestic top flight but recent results away from home have been pretty disappointing by Rangers' standards.

The visitors have managed to capture just two wins in their last nine outings on the road in the Scottish Premiership along with being dealt four defeats as well, and this might just be the difference between the two sides here on Wednesday night.
