Rangers are already six points behind Celtic and Aberdeen. A setback in today's match will complicate their situation, while a win will close the gap to three points. It's clear that the Gers will take risks and play for victory, making it unlikely for Aberdeen to keep a clean sheet. Meanwhile, the Reds are in excellent form, having recently scored two goals against Celtic in Glasgow, so responding shouldn't be difficult for them.
We believe the match will be high-scoring. Our prediction is over three goals total. This bet is offered at odds of 2.25

The Rangers are the bookmakers' favorites for this match, which is not surprising. They have a stronger lineup and rarely lose to their opponents. However, Aberdeen is in such incredible form that favoring the inconsistent Rangers would be naive. The Reds recently passed a tough test against Celtic in Glasgow, proving they can earn points.
Bet – Aberdeen will not lose. This wager is offered at 1.79
