Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Sunday’s game between Ross County and Hearts will bring down the curtain on day 13 of the new Premiership campaign. The Staggies are stuck at the bottom with only nine point in their pocket, meaning that they are desperate to grab something from the match. Ross Callachan suffered an injury in a 1-0 loss at Kilmarnock, with Yan Dhanda likely to step up. The Jambos, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Scottish top flight.
Since the visitors will go for a win as well, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be Lawrence Shankland, who scored a hat-trick in a 4-3 loss to Celtic at the weekend, while all Peter Haring, Nathaniel Atkinson, Kye Rowles, and Liam Boyce should miss out with injuries. Craig Halkett is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Liam Boyce):
Liam Boyce is a Northern Ireland international who plays for Burton Albion in the League One. Boyce was born in Belfast on April 8, 1991 and he started his senior career at Cliftonville.
The 184-cm tall attacker played for the likes of Werder Bremen II and Ross County as well before becoming Burton Albion’s record signing in the 2017 summer transfer window.Liam Boyce missed almost entire 2017/2018 season through a serious knee injury, returning to action on February 3, 2018. Speaking of his international career, Boyce made his Northern Ireland debut against Scotland on February 9, 2011, coming as a substitute for Niall McGinn.
Six years later, on June 2, 2017, he scored his first goal for the Northern Ireland national team in a 1-0 win over New Zealand. Liam Boyce’s main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a second striker as well.
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.
