- Team form: Aberdeen are unbeaten at home in the Premiership 2026/2027, winning 1 from 1, but Rangers are unbeaten away from home in the league.
- Head-to-head: Aberdeen have failed to beat Rangers in their last 2 home H2H matchups.
- Defense stats: Aberdeen have conceded just once at Pittodrie Stadium in the Scottish Premiership 2026/2027 and Rangers have drawn 1 from 1 away from home.
A closely matched affair at Pittodrie
Rangers come into this fixture as the favorites at 1.67, with the Dons and the draw priced at 4.65 and 3.95 respectively, but we think that Stephen Robinson's side have a good chance of getting a result on Sunday and will take the draw.
The Gers have had a mixed start to the campaign in terms of results, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their last 5 in all competitions, but they are certainly heading in the right direction following their 5-1 thrashing of St Mirren in the League Cup and their 1-0 victory over Jablonec in the UEFA Conference League.
Derek McInnes' men have kept things pretty tight away from home in the SPL so far, taking 1 point from 1 trip and scoring just 1 goal.
Dons are on a roll at home
Tactical approach
Stephen Robinson has given the Dons a sharper identity, one that involves high pressing and quick transitions. The Dons have won their last 3 at their home ground, which included a 2-1 victory over Hearts in the Premiership and a 3-0 win over Dundee in the League Cup.
Key players
The Gers will look to test the hosts' defence with Thelo Aasgaard their biggest threat in the final third, with the Norwegian having scored 1 goal in 2 Premiership appearances for the club. Kevin Nisbet is the most dangerous player on the pitch for the Dons with 2 goals in 2 Premiership 2026/2027 appearances and 6 of his club's 11 goals in their last 5 games. Lewis Mayo has been a useful creator for the Dons, already registering 1 assist in 2 appearances in the Premiership 2026/2027.
Back the Dons to get something
Aberdeen are 8th in the SPL with 3 points from 2 games, while Rangers are just below in 9th with 1 point from 2 games, but the Dons have looked better in general play and can get a result on Sunday.
- We think the visitors will edge it in the end, but Rangers have not lost their last 2 at Aberdeen's home ground and we're taking the Dons' momentum at their own ground to keep this game tight and competitive.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 looks the better option for the main bet though, as both sides have some threats going forward.
