Hearts vs Kilmarnock tips and predictions

Nothing wrong with prices ahead of tight Premiership encounter

There are 11 points between the two clubs as third place Hearts get set to host fourth place Kilmarnock.

Assuming they're motivated Hearts look like they can take home all the marbles but if their opponents are on form then the hosts could get their fingers burned.

The hosts come into the match having put 13 victories on their resume from their last 17 games.

This home team is doing some good stuff and things are really coming together. Hearts have scored at least once in 17 of their recent 18 matches and they've not been giving things away without a fight. They've only let in 1 goal in their last 4 games at home.

Kilmarnock have been punished when they've lost their shape. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 matches.

They have done battle before. Hearts have won 3 of the last 5 fixtures between the two teams. They might not be important but the head-to-head stats give reasons to be confident in them.

It's not a confident prediction though. They may end up sharing the spoils. Each of the two sides can present danger and it might be a match with both teams getting on the scoresheet. It is not the best bet in today's schedule but the Yes BTTS bet is the tentative side bet. As far as the total goals line goes, it's more than two goals for this one given the current prices.
