Aberdeen aiming to jump into top three in SPL

Soccer Betting Lines

01/16/2009 - Aberdeen, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Scottish Premier League returns to action after a week off with a full slate of games this weekend.

Aberdeen, coming off a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock on Tuesday, host league leaders Celtic on Sunday, aiming to jump into the top three. Aberdeen has won five of six matches to move into fourth in the table, two points back of third-placed Dundee United.

The other match on Sunday pits United vs. Motherwell at Tannadice. A win by the home team and they would be guaranteed to hold off Aberdeen in the table. Chances are good considering Dundee have lost just once at home this season. Motherwell are in form, however, after taking seven points from their last three games.

The other four games are Saturday, with second-place Rangers aiming to close the five-point gap on the leaders vs. Falkirk, Kilmarnock entertaining Hearts at Rugby Park, St Mirren traveling to take on Hibernian, and Hamilton hosting Inverness in a battle of the two of the bottom three teams.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
