Advised bets

No advised bet on this fixture. The available prices are close enough to our own numbers that there is nothing worth backing. Most fixtures end up here, and manufacturing a selection for every game is exactly how tipster records get destroyed.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Rangers favoured against Aberdeen

Our model makes Rangers 57% to win this Scottish Premiership fixture, with the draw at 24% and Aberdeen at 19%. The goal projection is 1.77 for Rangers against 0.93 for Aberdeen — a substantial edge to Rangers on expected output. A combined 2.70 goals points to an open game around the league average, which puts over 2.5 at 51% and both teams to score at 51%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1 at 12%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. This sits in the awkward middle of the distribution, where the model has a view but not a strong one. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.

Most likely scores: 1-1 12%; 1-0 11%; 2-0 11%; 2-1 10%; 0-0 7%
