Rangers set to move up to second in the SPL

Rangers set to move up to second in the SPL

On Tuesday night, Aberdeen and Rangers go head-to-head at Pittodrie, as the two teams compete to finish as runners-up in the Scottish top-flight table.

Aberdeen are currently second place in the table. However, the Dons are ahead of the visitors by just one point in the race to finish as the best the rest below the dominant force of Rangers arch-rivals Celtic. Neither side has yet sealed a Europa League place, but either could with a victory.

The Dons head into this game on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in the SPL, having also not conceded in those three games. Last time out Derek McInnes’ side drew 0-0 at home against Hibernian.

The home side’s recent SPL games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the Scottish top-flight.

Aberdeen have a strong record at Pittodrie, having lost just once in their last ten league outings while recording seven wins in the process.

Rangers head into this game on the back of the appointment of former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard as their new boss.

Gers have been in decent recent form under interim boss Graeme Murty, winning three of their last four games in the SPL, including last time out beating Kilmarnock 1-0 at Ibrox.

Unlike the home side, the visitor’s recent SPL games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league games.

Rangers have a mixed away record in the Scottish top-flight. However, last time out on their travels the visitors suffered a 5-0 defeat at arch-rivals Celtic. Their recent games on their travels in the SPL have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league outings.

Rangers have won the last three meetings between these two sides and Forebet predicts that the visitors will continue that run with a win in a low scoring encounter.
