Celtic-pursuers Aberdeen hunt Scottish Premiership win at Hearts

Hearts are in danger of falling off the pace from both Aberdeen and dominant champions Celtic this term, especially if they endure defeat to the Dons this weekend, but their recent form suggests they can cause somewhat of an upset at the Pittodrie Stadium.

Neilson’s men are unbeaten in their previous eight league outings, but that impressive streak includes four draws which have stifled them in earlier weeks, and another share of the spoils in Aberdeen is 5/2 to occur.

Rooney and Juanma goal threats

The visitors will be relying on the goal scoring instincts of top scorer and in-form Spanish frontman Juanma Delgado in this latest Premiership tussle, with the 25-year-old hitman having dispatched eight times domestically this season and he is 11/4 for another anytime.

His attacking partner Osman Sow has also enjoyed fine form in front of goal, with six strikes in his 16 league appearances so far, making him 7/1 to open proceedings this time around or 2/1 to net anytime.

For the hosts, Republic of Ireland international call-up Adam Rooney should be key to any further success on home turf, as he continues the clinical nature which made him one of the most feared strikers in the division last campaign. The Irishman is 7/2 to bag a brace or more this time out and add to his 11 league goals already so far.
