Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tynecastle Park will host Saturday’s football game between Hearts and St. Mirren, the two top-table sides. Hearts did well to shock Celtic in Glasgow in their last league match, with the team climbing to third place in the standings, but they do not want to stop now. Barring any fresh injury worries, Steven Naismith is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the title holders at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Saints failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Motherwell, with Mark O’Hara failing to convert a penalty early in the second half. As St. Mirren are on a five-game losing run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Ryan Flynn and Ryan Strain are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
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.
