How Many Goals to Expect?

In a five-match series, both teams have an average total goals per match of 2.4. Rangers score 1.6 and concede 0.8, while Aberdeen scores 0.4 and concedes 2. For over 2.5 goals: Rangers have 3 out of 5 matches over, and Aberdeen has 2 out of 5 matches over. By halves: Rangers have only 1 out of 5 matches over 1.5 in the first half, and 2 out of 5 in the second half. Aberdeen is similar: 1 out of 5 matches over 1.5 in the first half and 2 out of 5 in the second half. In terms of goal distribution by minutes, Rangers most frequently score between 31-45 minutes (57%) and concede in the final stages - 76-90 minutes (50%). Aberdeen's most frequent goals come between 46-60 and 76-90 minutes (30% each), and they concede between 16-30 and 61-75 minutes (50% each). However, Aberdeen's very low goal-scoring rate of just 0.4 per match, combined with high concession (2) and unimpressive over totals, highlights a clear advantage for Rangers in attack. Against this background, a bet on Rangers to win seems the most logical, considering their defensive stability and regular scoring.

Corner Totals Analysis

In terms of average corners over 5 matches: Rangers have 5.8, Aberdeen has 4.6. In a series of five games, Rangers had 3 out of 5 over 9.5 corners, while Aberdeen had 2 out of 5 over 9.5. When considering the corner total, the line closest to the average sum (10.4) is 9.5. In this case, a bet on over 9.5 corners seems justified by the frequency of overs. As for discipline, Rangers receive 1.8 yellow cards per match, Aberdeen 2.4. In terms of fouls, the teams are almost equal: 12.6 for Rangers and 12.8 for Aberdeen. Overall, for corners, an active game from both sides can be expected, as evidenced by previous matches with frequent overs on 9.5.
