Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tynecastle Park will host Saturday’s Premiership game between Hearts and St. Mirren, the two top-table sides. Hearts aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Cameron Devlin, Craig Halkett, Gary Mackay-Steven, and Beni Baningime remain in the recovery room.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Livingston, but beating Hearts on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the match as the Jambos suffered a dip in form. Both Jonah Ayunga and Richard Tait are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of their last five meetings in the Scottish top flight.
