Hearts vs Aberdeen

Hearts hosts Aberdeen in a Monday night Scottish Premiership fixture with both teams keen to make a strong start to the season.

The hosts are looking sharp coming into this clash and also have a good home record in this fixture. They should get the upper hand over the visitors, who are not looking convincing heading into the new season.

Hearts News

Hearts will come into the campaign, seeking an improvement on last season’s performance, where they failed to make the championship playoffs. However, after struggling during the early part of the season, they eventually picked up their form and won their final four matches.

Derek McInnes’ team appear to have carried that form into the preseason, winning their last seven matches. They have also won their last six home matches across all competitions, claiming a 4-0 victory over Dumbarton last time out in the League Cup.

Hearts have looked sharp in attack, scoring in their last 10 matches across all competitions, with nine fixtures on this run producing over 2.5 goals. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last eight matches.

Aberdeen News

Aberdeen reached the championship phase in the second leg last season, eventually finishing fifth in the table. They also picked up a trophy, beating Premiership Celtic on penalties to win the Scottish Cup final.

While Aberdeen can consider their campaign a success, they did stumble towards the end and lost their final five league matches, with three of those defeats coming on the road. Jimmy Thelin’s team were also unconvincing in preseason and head into Monday's clash off the back of a 3-1 defeat to Ipswich Town in their final warm-up game.

Aberdeen often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches in all competitions. However, they have scored in five fixtures in that run while four of those matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Aberdeen are unbeaten in five of the last six meetings and claimed a 2-1 victory when both teams met in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup last season. However, Hearts often come out on top at home and are unbeaten in the last six meetings at Tynecastle Park, claiming five wins on this run.

Verdict

Hearts v Aberdeen

There are often goals in this fixture and with both teams scoring in three of their last four meetings, a repeat could be expected here. Nine of Hearts’ last 10 matches have produced over 2.5 goals, which is likely to be the outcome here.

Hearts will come into this clash in good form and have also won five of the last six home matches against Aberdeen. They should claim the upper hand over the visitors, who have lost their last three Premiership away matches.
