Hearts Seek First Win Against Aberdeen

Hearts will face Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium on Sunday, desperately seeking their first league win of the season against a Dons side with a perfect record thus far. Hearts are currently at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table with only two points from seven matches, while Aberdeen leads with six consecutive victories. Both teams will be missing key players due to injuries, including Hearts' Gerald Taylor and Aberdeen's Pape Habib Guèye. The Dons' manager Jimmy Thelin is aiming for a record 13th consecutive win, potentially strengthening their position for European competition next season. Historically, the home side has dominated this matchup, winning the last nine league meetings, with Hearts struggling in recent visits to Aberdeen. A loss for Hearts could place them in a precarious position, echoing the struggles of Dundee United last season.
