If someone was to take a look at the standings, they would think that this would be an easy match. However, the encounter of January 12 at 15:00 GMT at Pittodrie Stadium, will be anything but. We may have the 4th facing the 11th but what we actually have is a team on the decline facing a team that begins to climb.
Going in opposite ways
Aberdeen count 10 wins, 4 draws, 7 defeats, 32 goals in favor, 30 against. What matters most here is that they have suffered 5 consecutive defeats. Including a humiliating 4-0 thrashing by third to last Kilmarnock. Even before the last 5, they drew to the team at the bottom of the table, St. Johnstone at 1-1. In fact, they have not celebrated a victory in the last 10 matches they played! With the exception of Celtic, all of those encounters were with teams below them on the standings.
On the other hand, the visitors have only lost once during their last 5 appearances, celebrating 3 victories and a draw. Their record now stands at 6 – 5 and 11 with 25 goals scored and 31 conceded. More importantly, they have kept 2 consecutive clean sheets, while their opponents have conceded a total of 10 goals. Nevertheless, it does seem probable that both teams will score on this one.
The hidden treasure is out
Under these circumstances, it’s not a question why the offer is for @2.42 for Aberdeen and @2.90 for Hearts. The research has also shown that there must be 2 or 3 goals scored therefore the offer with value is at @2.40 for over 3. What we believe is that the hosts have been on the decline for quite a while and it is the perfect opportunity for them to get back on their feet. Also, the hosts have won all the encounters with the visitors since Aug 13, 2016 (and that one was a 0-0 draw)!
Therefore, when you go open your Game2Bet account, you should place a wager on Aberdeen’s victory at @2.42. One way or the other, it’s our strong belief that this will be the final outcome.
