Twenty-eight-time winners Rangers are in good form heading to Hampden Park for the first of this weekend's Scottish League Cup semi-finals.
Derek McInnes' men are unbeaten in 10 and have defeated Aberdeen on each of the last five occasions they have met, most recently at Pittodrie in the Premiership in late August.
The Dons, meanwhile, are finding wins far harder to come by and worries at the back can only add to their concerns.
Rangers v Aberdeen Tips Summary
Best Bet - Result/BTTS - Rangers/No @ 5/4
Alternative Bet - Kevin Kelsy anytime goalscorer @ 10/11
Bet Builder - Over 4 cards, Over 9 corners & Afeez Aremu 1st card @ 14/1
Rangers v Aberdeen Prediction
Best Bet: Result/BTTS - Rangers/No @ 5/4
It should be a tense affair at Hampden Park where Rangers can get up without too much in the way of fanfare.
These sides have already met once this season, at Pittodrie, and Rangers won that battle 1-0. Something similar is envisaged here.
The Dons have failed to find the net in six of their last 12, most recently last weekend in a devastating 1-0 home defeat by Falkirk, and a Rangers win to nil is suggested.
Alternative Bet: Kevin Kelsy anytime goalscorer @ 10/11
Kevin Kelsy has hit the ground running at Ibrox and the Venezuelan striker looks like a striker for the big games.
He has made six starts since arriving from the MLS, two against Celtic and one at Hearts last weekend, and he has banged in five goals.
Kelsy is only 22 but adds a real liveliness to the Light Blues front line and has to be a warm order to find the net at Hampden Park.
Rangers v Aberdeen Bet Builder Tip
Over 4 cards
Over 9 corners
Afeez Aremu 1st card
Pays 14/1
It was tetchy at Pittodrie in August when these sides met in the league, a game which saw nine yellow cards.
The Dons have had 28 yellows in 11 league games - only St Mirren have seen more - and the high stakes could easily see referee Ryan Lee kept busy.
Eleven of Rangers' 13 league and league cup games this season have produced over 8.5 corners so expect it to occur this weekend.
Dons' midfielder Afeez Arema has picked up three yellow cards in the league this season - one in that match against Rangers - plus another in the League Cup in the hard-fought win over Kilmarnock.
He will be busy trying to stop midfield being over-run and take the Nigerian to get the first booking.
