Head-to-Head
Hearts have won one of the last two meetings, but failed to win on their last two visits to Motherwell. Based on this, our Motherwell vs Hearts Of Midlothian FC prediction takes into account both the home advantage for Motherwell and the recent inconsistency of Hearts away from home.
Key Players
Both teams have in-form strikers to score the goals, Tawanda Maswanhise for the Jags and Lawrence Shankland for the Jambos, both of whom have seven to their name in 12 Premiership appearances , and have scored three in their last five , so the ‘Both Teams To Score’ option at 2.14 looks tempting given both have been involved in some end-to-end games recently, and this is also reflected in our Motherwell vs Hearts Of Midlothian FC betting tips.
Betting Insights
- Hearts enter this game as odds-on favorites at 2.08, but Motherwell are 3.4 to take the points and the draw is 3.42.
- The Jambos have a superior away record in the league this season with four wins, one draw, and one defeat, but have conceded just six goals in six trips.
