Hearts and Aberdeen Play to 0-0 Draw

Hearts faced a challenging match against Aberdeen, struggling to convert opportunities despite a better performance in the second half, exemplified by Jorge Grant's missed penalty. The team has been significantly impacted by injuries, notably the absence of Liam Boyce and Lawrence Shankland, which has affected their offensive capabilities. Meanwhile, Aberdeen's season has been marked by extreme fluctuations, going from a record-breaking start to a winless streak, currently sitting at the bottom of the form table. Manager Jimmy Thelin is under pressure as the team has not won since early November, with fans anxious about their prospects of slipping out of the top six. Additionally, both teams are dealing with injuries, with Hearts poised to debut new striker Elton Kabangu. The match is crucial for both sides, with Hearts aiming to improve their dismal away record against Aberdeen, who have not lost at home to them since 2017.
