Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Rangers vs. Dundee

sportsmole.co.uk, 9 December 2023, 06:45
Aberdeen vs. Hearts (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After suffering midweek defeats in their latest Scottish Premiership outings, both Aberdeen and Hearts will aim to get back to winning ways when they meet at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts currently sit inside the relegation zone, with a victory having the potential to get them out of that, while the visitors are in third place at the moment.

We say: Aberdeen 0-2 Hearts

Both teams head into this match on the back of defeats which means they will each be looking to get their seasons back on track.

Aberdeen have been struggling as of late, meanwhile Hearts walk into the game as favourites, and they should be strong enough to take all three points here.

Livingston vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After six consecutive games without a victory Livingston will be looking to turn things around on Saturday when they host Hibernian in their latest Scottish Premiership match.

Meanwhile at the other end of the table, Hibernian have the chance to crack the top four with three points this weekend if other results go in their favour.

We say: Livingston 0-3 Hibernian

Livingston have been struggling this season, and considering they are sitting bottom of the league they will walk into the match as the underdogs.

Hibernian also come into the weekend on the back of a defeat, but this fixture could work out as the ideal game to turn things around for them.

Motherwell vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Motherwell will continue to try and stop their poor run of form after suffering 12 games in a row in all competitions without picking up a win when they host St Johnstone this weekend.

The visitors are level on points with the Steelmen with both teams sitting just above the Scottish Premiership relegation zone which puts plenty of pressure on this match.

We say: Motherwell 0-2 St Johnstone

Motherwell are in the midst of a very difficult period on the pitch, and that is something that might not change this weekend.

While St Johnstone are lower than them in the division, the visitors have showcased more consistency and fight as of late which could be the difference maker.

Rangers vs. Dundee (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rangers will continue to try and maintain pace with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership on Saturday when they host Dundee.

The visitors are currently in midtable but will be seeking revenge following their previous meeting against the Gers this season.

We say: Rangers 2-0 Dundee

This match will likely be much closer than the last time the two teams met, with the visitors not wanting to suffer such a heavy defeat again.

However, Dundee are still not expected to take anything from the game due to the brilliant run Rangers are enjoying.

St Mirren vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Mirren and Ross County might be at opposing ends of the Scottish Premiership at the moment, but despite being lower in the division it is the Staggies who are heading into this game with momentum.

Meanwhile, the hosts shall be fighting to keep themselves in the top four as they try to end their three-match losing streak.

We say: St Mirren 0-1 Ross County

Ross County have already proven they are capable of defeating St Mirren recently, and they could end up repeating that feat this weekend.

The Staggies have been defensively strong lately while the hosts have been in poor form, which could come into play here.
