Aberdeen, Recent FormLast time out, Aberdeen went away feeling content with a 3-1 away win against Dundee United During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 24 shots on goal.
Manager Barry Robson will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Pittodrie Stadium. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Aberdeen recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Aberdeen, Bojan Miovski will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Hearts, Recent FormThe Hearts players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Celtic recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. In that game they had 29% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Celtic who had 11 attempts and 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Robbie Neilson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points 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.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Goalscorer Josh Ginnelly will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Hearts.
Aberdeen will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Hearts, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-0 defeat.
The Jam Tarts defence has struggled at Pittodrie Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
Aberdeen has had a good run of league results at home to Hearts, winning their last 6 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 9.
With no real injury worries, Aberdeen manager Barry Robson will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Hearts manager Robbie Neilson with Beni Baningime (Cruciate ligament), Liam Boyce (Cruciate ligament), Craig Halkett (Knee), Peter Haring (Concussion) and Gary Mackay-Steven (Foot) all unavailable for selection, and Craig Gordon (Broken leg) out for the rest of the season.
