Ross County
WLLLLL ๐ป
Ross County will be wanting a better result here after a 2-0 Premiership losing effort in their last game against Kilmarnock.
In that match, Ross County had 58% possession and 9 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Kilmarnock had 13 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Bruce Anderson (36') and Liam Donnelly (69') scored for Kilmarnock.
A recurring trait of more recent Ross County games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
From their previous 6 clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a loser.
Leading up to this clash, Ross County:
- have not won against Hearts in their previous 3 league games.
- havenโt won at home in the past 2 matches in the league.
Hearts
WLLDLL
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Dundee in Premiership action, Hearts will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, Hearts managed 74% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target. On the other side, Dundee had 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Simon Murray (38') scored for Dundee.
It has become apparent that Hearts have had real problems scoring goals in their past 6 encounters, contributing the poor return of just 3. In those matches, The Jam Tarts have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 7. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.
Taking a look at their past results, Hearts:
- are winless against Ross County in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
- have not won away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

Prediction
Weโre envisaging that Ross County may well find it hard to score goals against this Hearts side who we think should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
Weโre therefore tipping a very competitive game with a 0-1 win for Hearts after 90 minutes.
Weโll see what happens.
