William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews the action from Fir Park.
Motherwell v Hearts prediction: Draw (11/8), Motherwell 1-1 Hearts (5/1).
Motherwell v Hearts – Saturday, 8pm
- Motherwell – 13/8
- Draw – 9/4
- Hearts – 11/8
Motherwell have already played their part in this fantastic William Hill Premiership title race having beaten Rangers 3-2, but they return to Fir Park having suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Falkirk last weekend, although they should secure a UEFA Europa Conference League spot for next season.
Hearts extended their unbeaten run in the league at home last weekend with a 2-1 victory against fellow title contenders Rangers, they’ve now won fourteen of their eighteen league games on home soil (D4, L0). However, away from home it’s been tough having won just one of their last five outings (D1, L3), whilst they’ve won none of their last three visits to Motherwell (D2, L1). With the Old Firm derby taking place on Sunday, this is a huge chance for Hearts to get a firmer grip of the title, although it’ll be tough given the Well have lost just one of their last thirteen home games.
