Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hearts will be desperate to record their first win of the season when they take on Ross County in the Premiership round 6. The Jambos are desperate to put an end to their five-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Ross County. Defender Daniel Oyegoke is pushing for a rare start, while midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof remains in the recovery room.
The Staggies, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Aberdeen, beating Dundee FC, while sharing the spoils with St Johnstone. As Hearts want this win more than Ross County, we believe that the time has come for Steven Naismith’s troops to get back on course. Both Ricki Lamie and Max Sheaf are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Alex Samuel should be recalled to the starting XI.
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.
