Hearts set to consolidate top six spot against Dundee

Hearts set to consolidate top six spot against Dundee

On Wednesday night, Hearts host Dundee at Tynecastle in the Scottish Premiership, as the home side look to consolidate their position in the league’s top six.

Hearts are currently fifth in the Premiership table, six points clear of seventh place St Johnstone. Wins over Hamilton Academicals and last time out Hibernian have helped Hearts recover from two straight defeats against Livingston and Aberdeen.

The Jambos recent games in the Scotland Premiership have been low scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.

Hearts really have a mixed recent record at Tynecastle in the Premiership. They have won two, lost two and drawn one of their five Premiership matches on home soil. However, Craig Levein’s team have won their last two home league games without conceding.

Those aforementioned clean sheets have contributed to there being under 2.5 goals scored in four of Hearts last five league games at Tynecastle.

Dundee are currently rock bottom of the Premiership table, having taken just ten points from their 21 league matches so far this season.

The visitors have failed to win in six league games while suffering four defeats in their last five matches in the Premiership. Dundee have had that terrible combination of poor defending and a limp attack of late.

In fact, the Dee have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league matches and have also failed to score in their last three league games.

Unsurprising considering their poor points tally, Dundee have won just one of their last ten matches on their travels in SPL, suffering eight defeats in the process. They have also conceded at least two goals in their last four away matches in the Scottish Premiership.

Hearts head into this match as massive favourites and Forebet predicts the home side will record a comfortable win in a high scoring encounter.
