Low-scoring affair looks likely in Pittodrie clash

Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership
BT Sport 2, 7.45pm Friday

Aberdeen and Hearts could cancel each other out in what looks set to be a tight encounter at Pittodrie.

Derek McInnes's side made some amends for their William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final defeat earlier this month with a fine 2-0 win at Kilmarnock, while Hearts wilted at Ibrox in a 2-1 defeat to Rangers last week.

Although Hearts comfortably beat the Dons at Tynecastle 2-0 a few weeks ago, they have consistently failed to travel well.

However, you couldn't back an Aberdeen side at odds-on, given they have failed to score against Hearts this season. Expect a niggly, low-scoring affair.
