Head-to-head statistics Hearts - Aberdeen
Heart of Midlothian Team Overview
🔴 The 2024/25 season for Hearts was a mixed bag. The team kicked off under the guidance of Steven Naismith, but a string of setbacks mid-season cost him his job. Liam Fox took over temporarily, stabilizing the situation, yet Hearts finished only seventh, missing out on European competition. In the Conference League, the club also fell short, failing to advance past the group stage.
🔗 As they prepared for the new season, Hearts took a thorough approach. Experienced manager Derek McInnes was brought in, and under his leadership, the team had an impressive preseason, securing six consecutive victories with an aggregate score of 22-1. Additionally, the club changed its technical sponsor to Hummel and is considering significant investments from Brighton owner Tony Bloom. Hearts begin the new season with ambitions to return to the fight for top positions.
