Match preview

Aberdeen host Rangers at Pittodrie in round four of the Scottish Premiership, with both sides seeking early-season momentum. Aberdeen sit in eighth place with three points from their opening two league fixtures, bouncing back from a 2-0 defeat at Dundee with solid home form across all competitions, including a 2-1 league victory over Heart of Midlothian.

Rangers enter the match in ninth position with one point from two league outings after an opening 2-1 home loss to Hibernian and a 1-1 away draw. However, the visitors have shown strong form in other fixtures, including recent victories over St Mirren (5-1) and FK Jablonec (1-0).

Historically, Rangers have controlled this fixture, winning seven of the last ten head-to-head encounters across all competitions and losing just once. Although Aberdeen have proven more resilient on home turf—securing one win, two draws, and one defeat across the last four meetings at Pittodrie—Rangers possess an established pedigree in this matchup.
