Best Tip: Aberdeen to win

As training goes on this week and the Aberdeen players ready themselves for this match, the bookmakers are predicting success for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Pittodrie Stadium has not been a happy hunting ground for for Ross County in the past, and we we'd back more of the same on Thursday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
