Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hearts will be looking to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Rangers when they welcome Dundee United to their Tynecastle Park in the Premiership round 25. The Jambos failed to impress in the midweek defeat, but they are certainly capable of matching the Terrors in front of home fans. Hearts’ injury list, though, is pretty long, with all Boyce, Baningime, Gordon, Halkett, Haring, and Mackay-Steven remaining in the recovery room.
Dundee United, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 20 points on their account, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. In their last meeting at the venue Hearts rolled over Dundee United 4-1, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Liam Fox should have a full squad to choose from.
