Wednesday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Aberdeen vs. Rangers

sportsmole.co.uk, 30 October 2024, 06:10
Celtic vs. Dundee (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Looking to maintain their fantastic undefeated start to the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season, Celtic will host Dundee at Celtic Park on Wednesday evening.

The hosts are top of the table with 25 points from a possible 27 after nine fixtures, while the visitors are eighth in the standings with nine points from nine games.

We say: Celtic 3-0 Dundee

The hosts are undeniably the favourites heading into this game, and with the two sides in vastly opposing form in recent outings, we expect a comfortable win for Celtic.

Dundee Utd vs. Motherwell (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Dundee United and Motherwell square off on Wednesday evening looking to stay in the hunt for third position in the Scottish Premiership standings.

These two sides currently occupy fourth and fifth place, Dundee United trailing Rangers by just the four points at this stage.

We say: Dundee United 1-1 Motherwell

This has all the makings of a tense battle, both teams aware that the stakes are being raised considerably due to Rangers' inconsistency. With that in mind, we would not be surprised to see a low-scoring draw play out on Wednesday night.

Hearts vs. Kilmarnock (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Two sides towards the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table are set to come together on Wednesday evening as Hearts host Kilmarnock at Tynecastle Park.

The hosts are 11th in the table with just six points from their opening 10 league fixtures, while the visitors are ninth in the standings with nine points from nine games.

We say: Hearts 2-1 Kilmarnock

Hearts have been reinvigorated since the appointment of Critchley as the new permanent manager, and we believe his unbeaten start will continue with a win against a Kilmarnock side that will be deflated after squandering a 1-0 lead in their 2-1 loss last time out.

Ross County vs. Hibernian (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Ross County play host to Hibernian on Wednesday evening looking for a win that could take the club into the top six of the Scottish Premiership standings.

Meanwhile, the visitors head into this contest sitting bottom of the table, albeit just four points adrift of their seventh-placed opponents.

We say: Ross County 2-1 Hibernian

While the gap in quality is perhaps not as significant as the league table suggests, we can still only see one winner here. As well as being frustrated with Sunday's result, Hibs have also had one less rest day, something that we feel could prove pivotal.

St Mirren vs. St Johnstone (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

St Mirren, looking to end a disappointing four-game losing streak, are set to come face to face with St Johnstone on Wednesday evening at The Smisa Stadium in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts are 10th in the table with just eight points from 10 games, while the visitors are sixth in the standings with 10 points from their first 10 outings.

We say: St Mirren 0-2 St Johnstone

St Mirren may have enjoyed this fixture in recent years, but the visitors are heading into this one in undeniably better form than their hosts, leading us to believe St Johnstone will win here.

Aberdeen vs. Rangers (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Aberdeen will look to continue their unbeaten streak in the 2024-25 season as they take on Rangers at Pittodrie Stadium in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening.

The hosts are second in the table with 25 points from nine matches, behind Celtic only on goal difference, while the visitors sit third in the table with 19 points from nine games.

We say: Aberdeen 2-1 Rangers

We expect this to be an extremely close game between two of the league's best sides, but with Aberdeen's confidence still high due to their unbeaten streak across all competitions, while Rangers have looked vulnerable at times this campaign, we believe the hosts will win again here.
