Aberdeen vs Ross County Predictions

• Aberdeen have scored at least once in 10 of their 13 home games this season.
• Ross County have the worst defensive record away from home in the league, conceding 32 goals in just 14 matches.
• The Dons have netted an average of 1.46 goals at Pittodrie, with the Staggies letting in 2.29 goals on their travels.

Hosts battling for third place

Aberdeen come into this game after qualifying for the quarter-final of the Scottish FA Cup in a 4-3 thriller with Kilmarnock on Wednesday. The Dons are currently 3^rd in the league and level on points with Motherwell, although they have lost two of their last three games.

Aberdeen’s home form has been terrible in 2020, with Derek McInnes’ side losing all three league games at Pittodrie. Two of them ended 1-0, with their most recent match ending 2-1 to league leaders Celtic. Despite not scoring a lot in recent weeks, the Dons still maintain an average of 1.46 goals and have only failed to score in 3 of their 13 home ties.

Staggies have the worst defence in the league

Ross County travels to the Granite City in somewhat bad form, as the club has picked up just six points in their last ten games- and only a single win. The Staggies still have a comfortable, six-point cushion between them and the relegation zone.

The Dingwall side’s away form has been even worse, gaining a measly 8 points from a possible 42 this season. Ross County also has the worst defensive record on the road thanks to their 32 goals conceded- an average of 2.29 per away day. The side managed by Ferguson and Kettlewell has also struggled up front, where they have only netted just 9 times, failing to score in 8 of their 14 away days.

Dons to sink Staggies further down the table

Aberdeen will come into this game in high spirits following their goal-fest at Rugby Park during the week and will want to continue pushing and fighting for 3^rd place with Motherwell. Ross County are also fighting- to avoid relegation- but their away form this season has been nothing short of bad. The Dons have won four of their last eight games at Pittodrie and have even drawn against Rangers.

They’ve also scored at least twice in those games too, which is why we’re going to back Aberdeen & over 1.5 goals, as Ross County also have the worst defensive record in the league away from home. As for the final score, we believe that a 2-0 win for the Dons is a good pick, as they have scored an average of 1.46 goal this season at Pittodrie, with their opponents conceding 2.29 times on average on their travels and have only scored 9 total goals on the road.
