Hearts, Recent FormHearts have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against St Johnstone in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, St Johnstone managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Manager Steven Naismith will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 12 games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 9 league games.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Hearts, Lawrence Shankland will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Motherwell, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Motherwell and Aberdeen in their last match, which ended in a 3-3 draw. In that game they recorded 40 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 14 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 22 of their 25 games overall.
Having drawn their last 4 league games away from home and having not won any of their last 10, The Steelmen will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
Theo Bair is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 8 goals in Motherwell's last 6 league matches.
