Prediction: 0-3
Hearts
Hearts will be looking to book their place in the Scottish Cup last 16 when they take on lower-league side Auchinleck Talbot on Saturday afternoon. Hearts are on a three-game winning run in the Scottish top flight, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the match. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Josh Ginnelly, who scored a brace in a 2-0 win over St. Johnstone, while Congo international Beni Baningime remains in the recovery room.
The underdogs, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Hearts by beating Hamilton 1-0, but we do not believe that they are capable of claiming yet another major scalp in the Scottish Cup as Robbie Neilson’s troops have been in a thrilling form of late. In their last meeting in the competition Hearts rolled over Auchinleck Talbot 4-0.

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.
