Ross County host Aberdeen in both teams' fourth Scottish Premiership game of the season. The home team Staggies are yet to win a match, drawing two and losing one so far. In contrast, The Dons have been in imperious form, winning all three of their league games this season. Will our prediction favour the in-form Aberdeen or can Ross County cause a shock and win the match?
On paper, this looks like a tough game for Ross County manager Don Cowie and his team. The Staggies barely stayed in the Premiership last season, finishing 11th out of 12 teams and they have not started this season particularly well either.
Hopes may have been high after drawing 0-0 away to Motherwell and then 1-1 at home to Dundee United, but in their most recent game, they were thrashed 6-0 away to Rangers. A result which leaves them 11th in the fledgling Premiership table.
Now they face an Aberdeen side that are flying under manager Jimmy Thelin. They progressed serenely through the early rounds of the Scottish League cup, conceding just one goal in five games and scoring 16 goals.
That form has continued into their Premiership campaign. An opening day 2-1 win away to St. Johnstone kicking things off. The Dons then won their next two games at home, defeating St. Mirren 3-1 and Kilmarnock 2-0.

Our Ross County vs Aberdeen Prediction
Our prediction for the Ross County vs. Aberdeen Scottish Premiership game is: Aberdeen to win.
Ross County's less than stellar start to the season has them as the underdogs to win this game, especially against an Aberdeen team that have racked up eight wins in eight league and cup matches so far this season. The Dons also won four of the five matches between the two last season too and there is nothing in the data for this fixture that suggests they cannot pick up another three points here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
