Ross County - Hearts predictions

The 4.45 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

With a price of 1.86 on them winning, Hearts should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

The home side picked a point from their latest Premiership clash. It was another home event but Ross County were not exactly favoured to claim a victory ($ODDS_LAST_HOME_WIN_LAST_ROUND). Therefore, no tears were shed over the fact they failed to preserve their first-half lead. A Hibernian draw will surely be enough to motivate them ahead of the Saturday fixture.

An HT/FT victory with a 2:0 goal difference is an impressive achievement in almost any context, but the fact that Hearts recorded it against Celtic is what makes their performance in the previous round truly staggering. For reference, top bookmakers online priced their victory at 1.50 before kick-off.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Global Energy Stadium this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

A quick look at the season’s match history tells us that Hearts won the last time these two squads clashed. It’s easy to see why most bookies online expect them to come out on top again, even if said victory was a narrow home win.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
