It is Scottish Cup semi-final weekend and we begin with Aberdeen facing Hearts at Hampden Park on Easter Saturday. Will our prediction for the match back the Dons to make it through to the final to face either St. Johnstone or Celtic, or can the Jam Tarts live up to their tag of being the bookmakers' favourites for the game?
The Dons have had a strange season, winning ten of their first eleven league games, but then going 14 games without a win. However, they have lost just one of the last eight in the League to lie 5th on 50 points from 33 matches. Hearts are seventh, ten points behind Aberdeen on 40 points from their 33 games.
In the cup, Aberdeen have despatched Elgin City 3-0 (away), and Dunfermline Athletic (3-0) and Queens Park (4-1) both at home to reach the semis. Hearts began with a 4-1 win at Brechin, before beating St. Mirren away on penalties after a 1-1 draw. They then reached the semis with a 3-1 win over Dundee.
Last weekend, Hearts were held to a 0-0 draw away to Motherwell, a third consecutive game without a win in the Scottish Premiership. In contrast, Aberdeen made it five games without defeat thanks to a 2-2 draw at home to Rangers.

Our Heart Of Midlothian FC vs Aberdeen Prediction
Our prediction for the Aberdeen vs. Hearts of Midlothian Scottish Cup semi-final is: Aberdeen to qualify.
The data between these two teams suggests a very close tie, but Aberdeen have just come out on top in the three games between the two this season. In addition, the Dons cup record is better than Hearts and the Jam Tarts recent form doesn't match recent results from Aberdeen. However, semi-finals can be difficult to predict, so take the added security afforded by backing Aberdeen to qualify, in case extra time or penalties are needed to decide the winner.
