Aberdeen v Ross County Live 12th August: Dons Will Take Heart After Narrow Celtic Defeat

Kick Off: Saturday 11th August
Live on Bet365 streaming 3.00pm

Aberdeen welcome Scottish Premier League new boys Ross County to Pittodrie on Saturday afternoon, and fans and players alike will take plenty of positivity into this game which could see The Dons collect their first win of the 2012/13 league campaign.

Starting their plight last week at Celtic Park was never going to be an easy task but Aberdeen got stuck into Celtic from kick off, held a tight back line, and although losing to a 79th minute Kris Commons goal, they will be hopeful that performance will spur them on this afternoon.

Ross County held Motherwell to a 0-0 draw at Victoria Park last weekend, and will also be pleased with their overall performance. However, their first Premier League away game promises to be much tougher, although County will no doubt plan to leave Aberdeen with 3 points in the bag.Ross County boss Derek Adams knows that Aberdeen will be heartened by their narrow defeat to Celtic last week but is hopeful of a result: “Hopefully it will be a good game with plenty of chances and we will certainly go out of the way to try to win the match.

“They come off a good performance against Celtic, losing to a freak goal, and we will see what kind of game transpires.”

Bet365 make Aberdeen favourites, and rightly so, but only narrowly at 10/11. Ross County can be backed at 3/1 to make their first away day a winning on, while the draw is a 12/5 chance.

Neither team has scored a goal in their 1 game played this season, and if you fancy that trend to continue with a bit of insurance, Bet365 are offering 8/13 for under 2.5 goals to be scored.

Bet365 are showing this game live and exclusively on their streaming service, with a kick off time of 3.00pm. 365 will also be offering live and inplay betting on the match.
