Hearts will win again
Despite their recent win against Aberdeen, Motherwell have mostly struggled the past couple of months. That was their only win in their last six games and they’ve lost four of those six games. Hearts on the other hand, have lost just once this season; they looked really good against Dundee United last time out. Motherwell have no wins in their last three home games, with a draw and two losses; they’ve conceded 10 goals in those three games, scoring just three goals. We believe Hearts have the better chance of winning this match hence the prediction.
Both teams to contribute to the scoring
Hearts have been one of the most consistent teams in the Premiership when it comes to scoring goals; they’ve scored in all of their last eight games, failing to score just once in all competitions this season. The Jam Tarts haven’t had too much trouble conceding either, as they’ve done so in their last five games. In the same vein, Motherwell have scored in their last four games, whilst conceding in seven of their last eight games. Considering both teams have scored in all of Hearts’ last five games, both teams will likely score here.
We’ll see plenty of goals
Both teams have scored in four of the last six meetings between these sides, with three of those games going over 2.5. Motherwell’s most recent games have seen a lot of goals; three of their last four games have gone above this line, with two of those games going over 3.5. Similarly, Hearts have had their fair share of high scoring games; they’ve scored seven goals in their last two games alone, with ten goals scored in those two games. Hearts’ last eight games have seen three goals scored on average per game, so we’re backing the over here.

Motherwell vs Hearts: Meet the teams
Motherwell
Motherwell snapped their five match winless streak with a surprising victory at Aberdeen last time out; will they be able to make it two wins from two? Graham Alexander’s men will hope to get some momentum going by winning this game. Keep an eye out for Tony Watt; he’s Motherwell’s main man.
Hearts
After losing their first game of the season, Hearts got back to winning ways with a solid 5:2 thrashing of Dundee United; can they replicate that today? The Jam Tarts will hope to put pressure on Celtic and Rangers by winning this match but with Liam Boyce potentially injured, they might face an uphill battle.
