Aberdeen, Recent FormLast time out Dundee United inflicted an embarrassing 4-0 away defeat on Aberdeen. Jim Goodwin will expect an immediate reaction from his players in this match. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Dundee United who had 14 attempts and 8 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Pittodrie Stadium, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Pittodrie Stadium, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
Bojan Miovski will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Aberdeen.
Hearts, Recent FormHearts manager Robbie Neilson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Kilmarnock. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Kilmarnock, who had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
On an individual basis, Josh Ginnelly will be looking to cause Aberdeen some problems having scored 2 goals in Hearts' last 6 away games in the league.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Hearts produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
The Aberdeen defence has struggled against The Jam Tarts in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games.
Aberdeen has had a good run of league results at home to Hearts, winning their last 5 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 8.
There is only really one injury concern for the Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin ahead of this clash, with Callum Roberts (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Goodwin a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Beni Baningime (Cruciate ligament), Liam Boyce (Cruciate ligament) and Craig Halkett (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
