Dundee United FC (home)
- Dundee United FC have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games.
- Dundee United have won just three of their 11 home games in the current campaign (D4, L4), so Hearts will arrive in Tayside as clear favorites at 1.82, while the Dons are 4.18 and the draw is 3.6.
- Jim Goodwin’s high-energy, counter-pressing side should be dangerous in any match, but they have failed to win their last two home games against Hearts and could lose to the team sitting at the top of the league.
- The Terrors are eighth in the table, 26 points behind Hearts with 25 points from 22 games played compared to the Edinburgh side’s 51 from 23.
Hearts Of Midlothian FC (away)
- Hearts Of Midlothian FC have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five fixtures.
- Hearts Of Midlothian FC have been in good form recently and will be keen to maintain the momentum of their good run by taking all three points away at Dundee United FC on Saturday in the Premiership 2025/2026 match.
- Derek McInnes has done a remarkable job at Hearts since he took over in May 2025, quickly establishing a pragmatic, well-drilled system in which the Jambos control the tempo and create chances in a disciplined shape.
- They average 1.73 goals per game away from home, while talisman Lawrence Shankland continues to contribute with 11 goals in 21 Premiership 2025/2026 appearances.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between the teams finished 1-1 at Tynecastle in the Premiership and each of the previous four have been split evenly with each team winning two and one ending in a tie.
Key Players
- Lawrence Shankland continues to contribute with 11 goals in 21 Premiership 2025/2026 appearances.
- Zachary Sapsford’s 6-goal attacking prowess (in 22 Premiership games) should do enough damage for the hosts to get on the scoreboard.
Betting Insights
- Hearts will arrive in Tayside as clear favorites at 1.82, while the Dons are 4.18 and the draw is 3.6.
- Backing the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.8 seems profitable given the away record of Hearts and the fact that United concede 1.36 goals-per-game on average at home.
Prediction
- There’s probably enough form to suggest that the visitors are likely to edge this contest.
- Hearts’ organisation and discipline should win out against United’s chaotic pressing style and Zachary Sapsford’s 6-goal attacking prowess (in 22 Premiership games) should do enough damage for the hosts to get on the scoreboard.
