Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Ross County, Hearts will look to return to winning ways in the Premiership when they take on Motherwell on Matchday 21. The Jambos have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be talented forward James Wilson, who scored a brace against Ross County.
The Well, on the other hand, looked sharp in front of goal in a 2-2 draw with Rangers. Given Motherwell’s attacking potential and Hearts’ signs of improvement up front, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last encounter in the Scottish top flight, Motherwell defeated Hearts 3-1. Talented forward Zach Robinson remains in the recovery room, but the 22-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
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.
