Prediction: 2-1
St Johnstone
Hearts will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Motherwell when they face St Johnstone in the Premiership round 28. The Jambos have been having their ups and downs of late, but they are surely capable of beating the Saints at home ground. Josh Ginnelly is back from suspension, while all Craig Halkett, Gary Mackay-Steven, and Beni Baningime remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Meanwhile, the visitors head into Saturday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with St. Mirren. St Johnstone are eager to move closer to top six, but seeing that Hearts have turned their Tynecastle Park into a real fortress, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. As for the visiting team, Daniel Phillips is banned for the match, while all Ryan McGowan, Murray Davidson, and Chis Kane are out of contention through injuries.
