Hearts vs Aberdeen Prediction: Bet on goals in this contest

When Hearts continue their fight for the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon against Aberdeen, they will be playing at home and will be looking to avoid losing for the fifth time in a row in all competitions. The Edinburgh team is currently in eighth place in the Scottish Premiership table with four points, while Aberdeen are currently in 11th place in the standings after only collecting two points during their first four matches of the season.

Hearts - WLLLD

The previous year, Hearts finished in fourth place in the Scottish Premiership, which earned them a berth in the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League. The team captained by Steven Naismith prevailed over Rosenborg 4-3 over the course of the aggregate match to move on to the playoffs. However, they were eliminated from the competition by PAOK after suffering defeats both at home and on the road. In addition, Hearts have dropped their most recent two matches in the Scottish Premiership against Dundee and Motherwell. With a total of four points from their past four matches, Hearts are currently positioned in eighth place in the table. Before the end of the month, the team captained by Naismith will compete in an additional three league games against Aberdeen, St. Mirren, and Ross County. In addition, they will play Kilmarnock in the League Cup. In the most recent matchup between these two teams, which took place in May, Hearts prevailed over Aberdeen by a score of 2-1. Earlier this year, Hearts also dominated Saturday's opponents by a score of 5-0 on their own turf.

Aberdeen - WDDLLD

The previous year, Aberdeen clinched a position in the Europa League playoff round by achieving third place in the Scottish Premiership. This allowed them to advance to the next round of the competition. The Dons were unable to go past Hacken and ended up losing 5-3 overall, but they will still be able to compete in the group stage of the Europa Conference League. They will begin their campaign against Eintracht Frankfurt, who play in the Bundesliga, the following week. The team captained by Barry Robson has struggled in the league so far this season, picking up only two points from their first four matches. As a result, they are now sitting in the 11th spot at the table. Both of Aberdeen's defeats have come at the hands of Celtic and Hibernian, and the Dons haven't taken home a victory in any competition since beating Stirling Albion in the League Cup in the middle of August. The fact that the Reds have not actually won an away match against Hearts in the regular Scottish Premiership season since December 2016 is an indication of how difficult their challenge will be in this match.

Hearts possible starting lineup:

Clark; Atkinson, Kent, Rowles, Cochrane; Devlin, Haring; Tagawa, Boyce, Sibbick; Shankland

Aberdeen possible starting lineup:

Roos; MacDonald, Rubezic, Jensen; Devlin, Barron, Shinnie, McGarry; McGrath; Miovski, Duk

Expert Betting Tips

Due to the fact that both teams are capable of performing at a higher level than they have so far demonstrated this campaign, it would not be surprising to see either team emerge victorious from this contest. However, because of Aberdeen's difficulties on the road against Hearts, I am finding it tough to back them and have instead decided to go with a high-scoring draw in this match. As a result, I believe that the game will end with both teams scoring and Hearts emerging victorious by a narrow margin.
