Prediction: 2-1
Ross County
Hearts will be looking to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Ross County in the Premiership round 21. The Jambos have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Friday’s clash. Barrie McKay is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Jorge Grant, Cameron Devlin, and Liam Boyce continue to miss out with injuries.
The Staggies, meanwhile, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both St. Mirren and Dundee in the previous two league matches and given Hearts’ splendid form in December, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Dylan Smith, Ross Callachan, and Ben Paton are out of contention through injuries. It has to be noted that Hearts are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Ross County.
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.
