Command Analysis

Ross County

Scotland

Current form

Ross County could hardly have set themselves more ambitious goals than staying in the Premier League – a task that Don Cowie’s team has not yet fully accomplished. With 18 points, the Stags are 10th in the table, four points ahead of last-placed St Johnstone, with Hearts two points behind. Ross County beat Dundee 3-0 away in their last match, ending a run of four defeats in a row.

Interesting trends for betting

Ross County have lost four of their last five matches
Ross County are unbeaten in their last three matches against Hearts, drawing two and winning.

Hearts

Scotland

Current form

Before the start of the season, Hearts were considered a clear contender for a place in the top six and were certainly counting on fighting for European cups. However, the "dark maroons" failed the opening period and still cannot fully get out of the crisis, currently occupying the penultimate place in the table with 16 points. There is already a 10-point gap from sixth-placed Motherwell, which will be almost impossible to make up, now Hearts will probably concentrate on the fight for survival.

Disqualifications and injuries

Taylor, Kent and Kingsley are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Hearts have suffered just one defeat in their last three matches
Hearts have scored in their last three matches

Probable line-up: Gordon - Penrice, Rowles, Halkett, Oyegoke - Baningime, Devlin, Pittal, Shankland, Drummeh - Wilson.

Tip and bets

2.05Hearts win

Hearts have been extremely inconsistent this season and have put themselves in a dangerous position, but they are certainly capable of improving. Today, the maroons will undoubtedly be focused on winning, as their opponents are a direct competitor. The visitors definitely have a chance of success – Ross Kanuti is far from their best form, having lost four of their last five matches, and the Deer are significantly inferior in terms of player selection.

We think the hosts have no chance. The forecast is Hearts victory . This bet is offered with odds of 2.05

Bet on total

"Hearts" will certainly be set up for victory today and will probably go forward with great force from the first minutes. Despite their not-so-best form, the "maroons" have been scoring regularly lately and will probably have no problems breaking through their opponent not-so-reliable defense. However, at home, the "deers" are capable of putting up a fight and will probably respond with one goal.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.81

Bet on corners

Hearts are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.

The bet is Hearts to win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.61
