Kelty Hearts vs Edinburgh City tips and predictions

Kelty Hearts to take care of Edinburgh City but no real value in odds

It's sixth placed Kelty Hearts versus tenth placed Edinburgh City in this League One clash as the hosts look to add distance to the 29 points between the sides.

The hosts might have this in the bag already but don't get carried away backing the odds-on favourites. Having said that there's not a huge chance of an upset.

Kelty Hearts are going to pick holes in this Edinburgh City line-up. This away squad comes into the match with 15 losses from their last 17 matches. All the evidence points to one more loss here.

A spirited home team defence might be the key to victory for them. Impressively, they've kept things tidy recently and they have conceded no more than once in 9 of their last 11 home games. While the hosts have looked secure at the back, the away side hasn't been watertight lately. Edinburgh City have conceded three or more goals in 13 of their last 17 assignments. To add to their woes, some of the attacking performances by the visitors have been lacking quality; they have averaged just 0.6 goals in their last 10 matches.

You'll be aware that Kelty Hearts have won all of the last 4 fixtures between the two sides. They may not be that relevant but the head-to-head stats could be an indication of what will unfold.

It's felt that only one side is likely to score in a match that's clearly on Kelty Hearts's terms. The Yes BTTS bet could be a fun little side bet.
