Aberdeen's recent form suggests they're in a solid spot, with three wins in their last five games. They've shown they can grind out results, especially away from home, which could be crucial here. Their 3-4-3 formation has been effective, particularly in their last two away matches where they managed clean sheets. If they can keep that defensive solidity and exploit their attacking options, they might just edge this one.

Hearts, on the other hand, have been impressive, with three wins and two draws in their recent outings. Their home form is particularly strong, but they'll need to adapt to playing away. Their 4-4-2 setup has been potent, scoring 13 goals in their last five games. If they can maintain that attacking flair and tighten up at the back, they could pose a real threat to Aberdeen's defence.

Aberdeen have shown resilience in their recent form, securing three wins and a draw in their last five games. Their ability to keep clean sheets in their matches against Kilmarnock and St. Mirren suggests a strong defensive setup, which could be key against a potent Heart Of Midlothian attack.
