Goal Statistics

Goals have been a problem for Aberdeen of late. It has been 5 Premiership matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against Rangers.

Rangers have been consistent in front of goal of late, scoring in 8 consecutive Premiership matches. Their PG of 1.6 against Aberdeen on Sunday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
