Prediction: 2-0
St Mirren
Following a 1-1 draw with St. Mirren, Hearts will be looking to cement third place in the standings when the two teams face each other for the second time in just seven days. The Jambos are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s game. Keep in mind, though, that all Craig Halkett, Craig Gordon, Gary Mackay-Steven, and Beni Baningime have been struggling with injuries of late.
Meanwhile, the Saints have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, but given their poor away record (1-2-5) in the 2022/2023 season, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the visiting side, Marcus Fraser is banned for the match, while fellow defender Ryan Strain is unlikely to recover in time to face the Jambos.
