Hearts vs Rangers Prediction: Rangers to extend dominance despite Hearts’ pressure

The match between Hearts and Rangers, who are currently in second place, will take place at Tynecastle Park. It is anticipated that this matchup will be a tense one, and there are still a great many exciting meetings to come. The previous weekend saw Hearts and Livingston play to a scoreless draw, which allowed them to keep their winless streak at nine games. On the other hand, Rangers were able to keep their composure against St. Johnstone and emerge victors with a score of 2-0.

Hearts come into this encounter having just played and finished a Premiership match against Livingston that ended in a scoreless draw. During that game, Hearts had 47% possession of the ball and 8 shots on goal, with 5 of those shots hitting the target. On the other hand, Livingston had five shots on goal, with four of them finding the net. Their more recent score lines demonstrate that the Hearts defense has shown a great deal of resiliency in recent games. Due to the fact that Hearts have maintained a high level of defensive organization, only one goal has been scored at their end during the course of their previous six matches. In their previous six matches in the league, Hearts have not been able to defeat Rangers. Also, Hearts haven't lost any of their last six league games at home.

Rangers are coming into this match on the heels of a victory in the Premiership, having defeated St. Johnstone by a score of 2-0 in their most recent match. During that game, the Rangers had 69% possession of the ball and 20 shots on goal, 11 of which were on target. James Tavernier at 15 minutes and Glen Kamara at 57 minutes were the Rangers players that were able to score goals. St. Johnstone, the team they were playing against, had four shots on goal, but only one of them was on target. Rangers have scored a total of 12 goals throughout their past six head-to-head contests. On each of those occasions, Rangers have also been acknowledged on the scoresheet in some capacity. Over the course of that time period, they have allowed five goals to be scored into their own net. According to the information gathered before the game, Rangers have not suffered a defeat at the hands of Hearts in any of the three prior meetings that have taken place away from home in the league. In addition, Rangers have not suffered a defeat in any of their five most recent league matches played away from home.

We get the impression that Hearts are capable of scoring against this Rangers lineup, yet we believe that a single goal might not be enough to avert a loss. As a result, we are preparing ourselves for a narrow margin of victory for Rangers.
