Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Premiership when they take on Ross County on Thursday afternoon. The Dons suffered a dip in form and they must be low on confidence following a 1-0 loss to their local rivals Dundee United. Forward Pape Habib Gueye remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Staggies, on the other hand, head into the midweek clash following a 2-2 draw with Hearts where substitute Jordan White scored a late equalizer to save one point. As a result, 32-year-old should be recalled to the starting XI. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides are eager to return to winning ways in the Premier League. Ross County manager Don Cowie should have a full squad to choose from for the first game of the year.
