Aberdeen vs Rangers: match statistics
Rangers clearly dominate this matchup in terms of form and quality. The visitors sit 2nd in the table with a record of 11 wins, 8 draws, and just 2 losses, while Aberdeen ranks 8th with only 7 wins and as many as 10 losses. Form over the last five matches speaks decisively in favor of Rangers (4 wins, 1 loss, 2.4 points per match), whereas Aberdeen have not won any of their last five fixtures (0.2 points per match). Rangers not only score more away goals (averaging 1.8 goals) but also haven't recorded a single match without scoring on the road (FTS% 0%), indicating their offensive efficiency. Aberdeen struggles with home form (30% wins, 30% losses) and recently conceded 9 goals in 5 matches. Given Rangers' advantage in possession (58% vs 52%), higher shot accuracy (13% vs 10%), and significantly better disposition, the guests are the clear favorites to secure the victory.
