Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Following a massive 6-0 loss at Rangers, Ross County will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Aberdeen at their Global Energy Stadium. The Staggies are determined to record their first win of the process and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. Defender James Brown is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Ricki Lamie and Max Sheaf remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Dons, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their ninth consecutive win in all competitions. Pape Habib Gueye has been scoring goals for fun of late and we predict that the Senegal forward is going to lead Aberdeen to yet another league win this weekend. Both Leighton Clarkson and Dante Polvara are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
