Aberdeen, underdogs in this fixture over the years, will be out to rise from their late disappointment against Burnley in their last match, where they pushed their hosts to the end but succumbed in extra time, conceding twice. The loss left the team winless in three and they will be hoping to stop that trend on Sunday when they open their league campaign against Rangers, who did just enough to advance past Osijek in the Europa League. One win, three draws and a loss is not the best run Aberdeen would have liked to take to this clash but it will give them a boost to post that the loss to Burnley is their only one in the last 12 matches. They have managed six wins in the 12 and will be looking to extend that. They have managed just four clean sheets in their last 10 matches and scored in nine of the last 10 matches. At home, they are unbeaten in nine matches – four wins and five draws and they take on a Rangers side unbeaten in nine and with three wins and two draws in their last five matches. Rangers will however need great improvement in their away run, as they have managed just one win in the last five, scoring seven and conceding 11. They however have six clean sheets in 10 matches and four in the last five matches. Rangers have scored in eight of the last 10 matches and they have not done so well away from home, having managed just one win in the last seven, but they will head to this game buoyed by the fact that they have been dominating Aberdeen and boast of a four match unbeaten run against their hosts. This match has produced over 2.5 goals in seven of the last 10 meetings and head to head, the two sides have met 75 times with Aberdeen winning nine and Rangers 47 times.
