Aberdeen – Heart Of Midlothian

Aberdeen host a struggling Heart of Midlothian in what promises to be a crucial fixture for both sides, with the Dons sitting in 10th place on four points after one win, one draw and three defeats, having scored just two goals while conceding seven. Hearts sit near the foot of the table in 95th, unbeaten but lacking a victory, holding two points from two goalless draws and a goal tally of three for and three against. The clash offers Aberdeen a chance to climb out of the lower mid‑table and tighten up a porous defence, while Hearts will be desperate to snatch their first win and lift themselves away from the relegation‑danger zone. Their recent head‑to‑head meetings have been tight, but the home side will be looking to use familiar ground to turn the tide in their favour.
