Hearts vs Ross County – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Hearts put their nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions on the line when they take on Ross County on Saturday. Read our top three predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

Hearts to Win

Hearts’ dramatic win at Dundee United last weekend was their seventh victory in nine fixtures in all competitions and Robbie Neilson’s red-hot troops should prove too hot to handle for Ross County on Saturday. The visitors have been toppled in four of their last seven away assignments and their habit of coming unstuck on the road means they are worth opposing at Tynecastle Park.

Both Teams to Score

Saturday’s game will be the fourth encounter between Hearts and Ross County this term and in each of the clubs’ previous three meetings, both teams managed to find the net. It’s also worth noting that six of Hearts’ last seven matches have also produced action at both ends, so punters can stick to the same market with confidence this weekend.

Ellis Simms to Score Anytime

21-year-old Ellis Simms, who is on loan at Hearts from Everton, scored his second goal in as many games when he netted the Jambos’ winner from the bench against Dundee United last week and the promising striker will be determined to prolong his streak against Ross County. Momentum is a powerful force in football and Simms has plenty of it pushing him on at present. That in turn makes him a superb option in the anytime goalscorer stakes.

Hearts vs Ross County Match Preview and Team News

Hearts

Defenders Craig Halkett and John Souttar are expected to miss out for Hearts this weekend, while Michael Smith is considered doubtful. Beni Baningime has an ACL injury and won’t play again this season. Hearts will finish in third spot this season after an excellent campaign.

Ross County

Goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer is still laid low for Ross County with a broken nose. Boss Malky Mackay has few injury worries to contend with beyond that, however. Ross County were beaten 2-0 at home by league leaders Celtic in their last test and their results in 2022 have been a real mixed bag overall.
