Aberdeen and Hearts go head-to-head at Pittodrie in the opening round of the new Premiership campaign, with the hosts looking to continue their excellent run of form. Aberdeen have been in outstanding shape in the League Cup, winning four consecutive matches and scoring goals for fun (2.00 per home game). Kevin Nisbet has been the standout performer, finding the net six times during those victories and becoming a key attacking threat for the Dons. The hosts have also been strong away from home recently, winning four of their last six matches on the road, while their overall form shows a clear improvement with six wins in their last 10 games. Aberdeen have averaged 1.9 goals per match during that period and should enter this clash full of confidence.
Hearts, meanwhile, arrive at Pittodrie after a disappointing Champions League qualifying campaign, losing 6-0 on aggregate to Sturm Graz. The visitors struggled to create chances and lacked attacking sharpness under new manager Wouter Vrancken. Both Kingsley and Kyziridis are doubtful after picking up knocks in the second-leg defeat, while summer signing Sabri Guendouz is expected to make his first start. Hearts have conceded 1.5 goals per game in their last 10 matches and could struggle against an Aberdeen side playing with momentum.
As Aberdeen are in excellent form and Hearts have lacked confidence and attacking quality in recent competitive matches, Home Win is our main betting tip. Additionally, Aberdeen Over 1.5 and Nisbet to Score markets are worth considering.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 1 August 2026 at 17:30.
