Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Sunday’s football game between Hearts and Aberdeen will bring down the curtain on the Premiership round 14. The Jambos are on a four-game losing run in all competitions and they face yet another difficult task against the Dons. All Yutaro Oda, Gerald Taylor, and Calem Nieuwenhof are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Meanwhile, the Dons have been involved in some high-scoring games of late.
As Aberdeen are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Hearts, we should see goals galore at Tynecastle Park. In their last meeting in the national championship Aberdeen defeated Hearts 3-2 and yet another lively contest is on the cards. Pape Habib Gueye remains in the recovery room, while Nicky Davlin is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a midweek draw with Hibernian.
Highlighted Team (Hearts):
Founded in 1874, Hearts are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Jam Tarts welcome their rivals at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the stadium which can hold up to 20,000 spectators.
While the original Hearts strip was all white shirts and trousers with maroon trimmings, the club’s current home kit is all maroon with a white-collar. Hearts have won the Scottish Premier League title four times (1894/95, 1896/97, 1957/58, 1959/60), but they have been in Celtic and Rangers’ shadows in the 21st century. Hibernian are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The two teams first met back in 1875 on Christmas Day, with Hearts winning the match 1-0. The Tynecastle Park Gorgie recorded their biggest win in 1880, with the team rolling over Anchor 21-0 in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
