Betting odds & tips

Rangers is favourite to beat Aberdeen at 13/20 (1.65) with bet365. At 9/2 (5.50) to win, Aberdeen are considered the underdogs.

Alfredo Morelos is 10/3 (4.33) to be first goalscorer after scoring in four of his last five fixtures, while Christian Ramirez is rated 17/2 (9.50) to break the deadlock for the hosts.

Having won six and lost none of their last nine games against Aberdeen, Rangers look a strong bet to come out on top at Pittodrie. Considering the Dons have only failed to find the net twice in 13 home matches this season, odds of 3/1 (4.0) could be well worth backing on Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men coming out on top in a game that features goals at both ends.

Aberdeen 2-0 Livingston (01/12/22)	Lyon 1-1 Rangers (09/12/22)

Having won each of their last nine league matches prior to the winter break, Rangers will be optimistic of picking up where they left off at Pittodrie.

Indeed, the Gers have not lost a Premiership match at this ground since 2016 and are unbeaten in 18 league fixtures in total coming into this one.

However, Aberdeen were also on an upwards trajectory before Christmas, winning four out of their last five games and have conceded more than once in only two of their last 15 home fixtures.

All in all, a fiercely-contested clash seems likely between two teams eager to get back to business after over three weeks off.
