Hearts - Aberdeen predictions

Aberdeen will give Hearts a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.24 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.53 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Hearts supporters were hoping for a more clear-cut victory in the previous round. A narrow home win is not bad, but the betting odds implied that they would be able to secure a more convincing lead. Still, considering the fact they fell behind in the early game, a 3:2 score is not too bad.

Aberdeen hit an impasse in their previous away game – the two teams spent most of the match tied, and the final score was 1:1. Such an outcome was in line with the 2.12 betting odds, which described the two teams as more or less evenly matched.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Hearts already have a victory over Aberdeen on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Premiership, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.38 odds offer a decent return.
