Hearts will aim to extend their winning streak in the Scottish Premiership to eight games when they welcome Aberdeen to Tynecastle on Wednesday night. Third-placed Hearts find themselves six points clear of fifth-placed Aberdeen in the table, although both sides remain on course to secure a spot in the Championship Group when the league splits in April.
Hearts strengthened their grip on third place in the Scottish Premiership table with a 1-0 victory over St Mirren last time out, courtesy of Barrie McKay’s fourth goal of the season. Although Robbie Neilson’s side scored just once against the Saints, they dominated large spells of the game, enjoying the lion’s share of possession while creating multiple chances in front of goal.
Following victories over St Johnstone and Hibernian at the turn of the year, Hearts have now won three of their last four games, with six wins coming in their previous 10 league outings. The Edinburgh outfit’s seven-game unbeaten run – which comprises four wins and three draws – started more than two months ago, and Neilson’s men have scored 14 goals since losing 1-0 to Rangers back in early November.
We say: Hearts 2-1 Aberdeen
Having avoided defeat in each of their past seven games, Hearts will be confident of overcoming Aberdeen, who look set to struggle without Stewart following last weekend’s League Cup exit.
If the recent scoring trends of Hearts and Aberdeen are anything to go by, both teams should find the net on Wednesday, but the hosts have more than enough quality to outscore the visitors at Tynecastle.
Ready for another night under the lights 💡
