Rangers face a testing trip to Pittodrie to take on Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night.

Steven Gerrard's side have a mixed record on the road this season, winning just five of their 12 league matches away from Ibrox, and there is little room for error here as they attempt to maintain pressure on league leaders Celtic.

Aberdeen, though, will surely provide a stern test having lost just two of their last 12 home matches and unbeaten in three matches against Rangers in all competitions this season.

Nevertheless, it is the visitors who come into Wednesday's clash as 19/20 (1.95) favourites to claim a vital victory.

Aberdeen are aiming for a third successive win against the 'Gers and are available at 14/5 (3.80) with bet365 to achieve that objective.

The previous two meetings between the teams at Pittodrie ended in stalemate, which is available at 5/2 (3.50) with bet365 on this occasion.

Team news

Aberdeen lost in-form striker Sam Cosgrove and goalkeeper Joe Lewis to injury during Saturday's victory against Hibernian on Saturday and will be sweating over the fitness of both men.

Alfredo Morelos, twice sent off against Aberdeen this term, is expected to lead the line for Rangers.

Tight tussle?

Each of the last five renewals of this rivalry has produced fewer than three goals and so the even money (2.0) quote from bet365 for no more than two goals to be scored could prove popular.

Fast start for the visitors?

Rangers, though, have led at half-time in five of their last six matches. Gerrard's charges are a 6/4 (2.50) chance to lead at the interval at Pittodrie.

Prediction

Both of these sides boast genuine quality in the final third, with Rangers having scored 10 goals in their last three matches.

Furthermore, only Gerrard's men and league leaders Celtic have scored more goals than the Dons in the Premiership this term and the 4/5 (1.80) quote from bet365, then, for more than two goals to be scored could offer exceptional value for punters.
