Hearts v Aberdeen: leaders' home stronghold meets visitors seeking a lift | OneFootball

Hearts host Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership at Tynecastle Park on Saturday, 28 February 2026, with the leaders aiming to extend an unbeaten home record while the visitors look to steady their league form.

Hearts are unbeaten at Tynecastle in the league this season, while Aberdeen won the reverse meeting 1-0 in November.

The Jambos have won three of their past five league games. The Dons arrive with one win from five in the league, though they did take a goalless draw at Dundee United last time out.

Hearts' season profile points to control at both ends: 1.8 goals per game, 14 clean sheets and 15 headed goals, aided by 20.55% cross accuracy. Lawrence Shankland and Cláudio Braga have 11 league goals apiece and sit among the division's leading scorers. For the Dons, Kevin Nisbet and Jesper Karlsson have five league goals each, with Stuart Armstrong on four assists and Topi Keskinen on three. The visitors have scored two headed goals this season and concede 1.4 per game, so deliveries into the box could be a route the hosts look to exploit.

A win would take the Jam Tarts to 63 points and could tighten their grip on top spot. The Dons would move to 32 points with victory and could edge towards the top half.
