On the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Celtic, Hearts manager Steven Naismith will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.  They came away from that fixture with 40% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Celtic managed 17 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They have been performing well at Tynecastle Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.  

When it comes to home matches at Tynecastle Park, Lawrence Shankland will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Hearts in their last 6 home games.

The Dundee squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 home defeat against St Mirren, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. St Mirren had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Tony Docherty will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
