My work here is done...

From @compo's tables:

 

Aberdeen: 1.21 xG - 1.33 xGA

Rangers: 1.72 xG - 1.05 xGA

 

On average Aberdeen are creating less than their opponents. That's ... pretty poor.

 

We're creating 0.67 more than our opponents, but that's still not good enough for a title challenge.

I haven’t a clue what it all means but suppose we go with the stats for both Aberdeen&Rangers who’s going to win

Stats won't predict a one-off game. 

 

Stats only predict general trends over the long term.

There will be no title challenge this season and we have known this for months. 

 

The almost constant talk about it and use of it by many as an expectation /measurement for 'the rebuild' is unrealistic and counterproductive.

 

We will finish second. Aberdeen will soon hit turbulence.

We didn't play well on Sunday a little improvement and we will beat Aberdeen on Wednesday

Aberdeen are gash, but have a winning mentality that once started, is easier to maintain. A draw wouldn't be the worst result, which in itself is a feckin ridiculous statement!.
