FANS could be in for a Friday night firecracker with both sides in confident mood.
Hearts finally handed Ian Cathro his first win on Tuesday and it was a fabulous 4-0 crushing of Kilmarnock.
Aberdeen made it back-to-back victories as they edged out Hamilton and this one is tough to call.
The Jambos have been handed a massive blow with Callum Paterson ruled out for the season and he'll be missed.
His absence will weaken the defence although his strength was in attack and he hit the opener against Killie.
Goals could be the way to play this one. Hearts have netted 22 in their last 11 while eight of Aberdeen's last nine have gone over 2.5 goals.
It was 0-0 at Pittodrie earlier this season but four of the last five at Tynecastle have produced three or more goals and that's the call again. I pays 9-10 at Marathonbet.
Without Paterson the best Hearts can expect is a draw and I like the Dons draw no bet at 23-25 with Marathonbet.
Hearts are a biggest 17-10 with McBookie, Dons are the same price at Betway and a draw pays 5-2 with McBookie.
