Aberdeen
LLWWWW 📈
Aberdeen, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 3-0 League Cup victory versus Kelty Hearts.
For Aberdeen, goals were scored by Kevin Nisbet (2'), Kjartan Már Kjartansson (27') and Toyosi Olusanya (50').
Fixtures featuring Aberdeen have often been entertaining encounters of late with high scoring being the norm. Over their past half dozen clashes, a total of 20 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 13 of them being chalked up by Aberdeen.
Hearts
WWDWLL
Since a loss in their previous game against Sturm Graz in UCL Qualifiers competition, Hearts will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Hearts managed 67% possession and 19 shots at goal with 6 on target. For their opponents, Sturm Graz had 20 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Jon Gorenc Stanković (4'), Jeyland Mitchell (50'), Luca Weinhandl (53') and Jürgen Heil (59') scored for Sturm Graz.
The stats tell the story, and Hearts have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 10 goals in total. Defensively, Hearts could really do with shoring things up. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through into this match, though.

Team News: Aberdeen
There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Aberdeen gaffer Stephen Robinson to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group. Kusini Yengi (Torn thigh muscle) is out of contention.
In all likelihood, The Dons should make use of the 4-3-3 system and select Marius Müller, Dylan Lobban, Jack Milne, Lewis Mayo, N. Guinness-Walker, Brad Lyons, Stuart Armstrong, K. Már Kjartansson, Lewis Smith, Kevin Nisbet and Toyosi Olusanya.

Team News: Hearts
From a largely healthy group of players, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Hearts gaffer Wouter Vrancken to be concerned about. Craig Halkett (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out for this game.
We’re of the thinking that The Jam Tarts could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Alexander Schwolow, C. Borchgrevink, M. Fagan-Walcott, Jamie McCart, Harry Milne, Blair Spittal, Oisin McEntee, Calvin Miller, Claudio Braga, Alexandros Kyziridis and Pierre Landry Kabore.

Prediction
When taking everything into account, Aberdeen will need to push hard to hit the back of the net against this Hearts team who we reckon should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
We therefore see a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Hearts when all is said and done.
Let’s see how this one goes.
