Hearts, Recent FormAny Hearts pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Ross County. During that encounter they had 65% possession and had 21 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 11 shots on goal.
Manager Steven Naismith will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 8 clean sheets in 15 games.
They have been performing well at Tynecastle Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Lawrence Shankland will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Tynecastle Park, having notched up 5 goals for Hearts in their last 6 league matches at home.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormWhen Kilmarnock last played in the league they faced St Mirren and produced an outstanding 5-2 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. St Mirren had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row.
There will be mixed feelings from Killie, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Marley Watkins will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Kilmarnock.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Hearts.
In their last 2 league meetings with Hearts, Killie have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. Playing at home, Hearts have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Kilmarnock.
Hearts manager Steven Naismith has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Liam Boyce (Leg), Craig Halkett (Knee), Peter Haring (Knee), Barrie McKay (Knee) and Yutaro Oda (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Derek McInnes has a number of injury concerns in his Kilmarnock squad to contend with: Matty Kennedy (Knee), Brad Lyons (Knee) and Kyle Magennis (Hamstring)
