Prediction: 1-1
Hearts
Ross County will try to recover from a massive 4-0 loss to Aberdeen when they take on Hearts in the Premiership round 7. The Staggies are eager to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s encounter. Both Scott Allardice and Ben Paton are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Jambos, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to St. Mirren. Considering that Hearts will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Nathaniel Atkinson limped off with injury in the last league match, with Toby Sibbick likely to step up. All Andrew Halliday, Kyosuke Tagawa, and Yutaro Oda are major doubts, while the likes of Cochrane, McKay, Halkett, and Gordon miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Hearts):
Founded in 1874, Hearts are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Jam Tarts welcome their rivals at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the stadium which can hold up to 20,000 spectators.
While the original Hearts strip was all white shirts and trousers with maroon trimmings, the club’s current home kit is all maroon with a white-collar. Hearts have won the Scottish Premier League title four times (1894/95, 1896/97, 1957/58, 1959/60), but they have been in Celtic and Rangers’ shadows in the 21st century. Hibernian are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The two teams first met back in 1875 on Christmas Day, with Hearts winning the match 1-0. The Tynecastle Park Gorgie recorded their biggest win in 1880, with the team rolling over Anchor 21-0 in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
