Aberdeen
Hearts
- Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin named two changes to the Dons team that booked their place in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals with a 4-0 victory over League 2 side Spartans, before claiming a 2-1 win at Dens Park against Dundee.
- Dimitar Mitov continued in goal behind Jack MacKenzie, Gavin Molloy, Slobodan Rubezic and Nicky Devlin - the unchanged back four in front of him. Captain Graeme Shinnie returned from illness to accompany Sivert Nilsen in midfield.
- Ante Palaversa made way, along with top scorer Pape Gueye who faces a few months out through injury. Jamie McGrath, Leighton Clarkson and Topi Keskinen, who scored on his return to the starting eleven, supported Kevin Nisbet in attack.
- Interim Hearts manager Liam Fox named three changes from Hearts being held at home by Ross County in a 1-1 draw, before claiming their first victory of the season in Azerbaijan as they beat Belarusian champions Dinamo Minsk 2-1.
- Craig Gordon continued in goal behind Adam Forrester, Frankie Kent, Kye Rowles and James Penrice, who took Stephen Kingsley's spot at left-back. Beni Baningime and Cammy Devlin were joined in midfield by Blair Spittal, as opposed to Jorge Grant.
- Alan Forrest was joined by Barrie McKay, in support of the Jambos' main marksman Lawrence Shankland. However, Yan Dhanda netted his first goal for the club off the bench in their Europa Conference League match, so may be handed a start here.
Nisbet TSA +187
Aberdeen Win
2-0
Home or draw
With 16 goals in goal difference in 7 total matches between the two , and total opposite forms, Aberdeen to win at home @1.65 is an insanely good valued bet.
@MikelFarteta This is a trap.
