Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Aberdeen will be looking to maintain their 100% start to the Scottish Premier League season when they host out-of-sorts Hearts to their Pittodrie Stadium. The Dons have made an impressive start to their campaign, and with their key players available, they must be brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday's encounter. Pape Habib Gueye should be the only absentee in the home team this time out.
Hearts, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with just two points on their account after a disappointing run of form. The Jambos have already suffered five defeats in the new Premiership campaign, and their situation isn’t helped by the injuries to Gerald Taylor and Calem Nieuwenhof. With morale pretty low, Hearts will find it tough to turn their season around with a win against the high-flying Dons. Given Aberdeen's momentum and Hearts’ struggles, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the in-form hosts.
Highlighted Team (Aberdeen):
Nicknamed the Dons, Aberdeen are professional football club that compete in the Scottish Premiership. Pittodrie Stadium is the club’s home ground, and it can hold up to 20,866 spectators. The Dons were one of the dominant forces in Scottish football during Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, with the team winning three Scottish League titles from 1980 to 1985.
However, Aberdeen clinched their first domestic trophy in the 1954/55 season, with the team finishing the process three points clear of Scottish giants Celtic. The club’s biggest success came in the 1982/83 season when they defeated the famous Spanish club Real Madrid 2-1 in the title game. Later in 1983, Aberdeen won the UEFA Super Cup as they defeated Hamburger SV 2-0 at Volksparkstadion.
The Dons are well known for their red home kit, while away shirt has a shiny gold base colour. Inverness Caledonian are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the North derby.
