Aberdeen v Ross County: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Aberdeen's recent collapse has been every bit as spectacular as their early-season gains in the Scottish Premiership were impressive.

The Dons were mounting a possible title challenge when they beat Rangers in their final game in October. but have only managed one win in 10 games since then.

Now they welcome a Ross County side who have taken four points from six since Christmas and may just fancy their chances at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen v Ross County betting tips and predictions

Draw - 29/10

Boss Jimmy Thelin has told his Dons squad they "can't hide or wait for some magic thing to happen" amid a dramatic collapse.

They won 15 of their first 16 domestic games this season, the only setback a draw at Celtic in October in which they had a possible winner chalked off after coming back from two goals down.

When they beat Rangers on 30th October the Pittodrie faithful were dreaming of at the very least managing to split Glasgow's big two.

They came crashing down to earth when the Bhoys thumped them 6-0 in the League Cup semi-final at Hampden Park in early November and have spiralled since.

They have taken just three points from the last 24 available and have only St Johnstone below them in the recent form table.

Ross County had lost four in a row before Christmas themselves, but have taken four points from six since the big day.

They won 3-0 at Dundee on Boxing Day and then staged a dramatic comeback in a 2-2 draw at home to Hearts on Sunday.

With that wind in their sails, they might secure a point from this trip north.

Under 2.5 Goals - 10/11

Aberdeen have only scored two goals in their last five games, firing blanks in defeats against Kilmarnock and Dundee United since Christmas.

Ester Sokler led the line at Tannadice but has just one goal in 10 appearances since mid-October.

Peter Ambrose and Kevin Nisbet could be in line to come into the side here but, between them, they have managed just six goals so far this season.

County have moved clear of bottom club St Johnstone with their upturn in form and those four points garnered lately.

Don Cowie's side are not prolific, however, with just 14 scored in their first 18 games of the season, so this New Year's contest could be low scoring, as it was in Dingwall in August when Aberdeen won 1-0.

Noah Chilvers to be booked - 15/8

Midfielder Noah Chilvers signed for the Staggies in the summer and has held down a spot in the side since getting his chance in the autumn.

He had three fouls in Sunday's draw with Hearts, the third time in the Scottish Premiership so far he's given away three or more free-kicks in the same game.

He had picked up 18 bookings across his final three seasons as a Colchester United player, however, his caution against Rangers in August remains the only one in a Ross County shirt.

But, with his foul count rising, it may not be long before another arrives.
