Hearts vs Ross County Prediction: Bottom placed County in danger once again

In a bid to snap a five-game losing streak in the Scottish Premiership, Hearts will host last-place Ross County at Tynecastle on Saturday. Last weekend, Ross County fell 1-0 to Aberdeen, and Steven Naismith's Hearts lost their first game as interim manager against bitter rivals Hibernian.

After suffering a 1-0 defeat against Hibernian in their most recent Premiership match, Hearts will be hoping for a better outcome this time around. Kevin Nisbet scored the lone goal for Hibernian in the 67th minute. In recent times, Hearts have not maximized the potential of their opportunities. During their previous six matches, they had a record of scoring just two goals when playing against opponents from other teams. As a result of those matches, Hearts have been on the receiving end of a total of 14 goals scored against them. Before this matchup, Hearts had not suffered a defeat at the hands of Ross County in any of their previous 11 matches in the league. A decent run, really.

Ross County will be looking to turn things around after suffering a defeat in their most recent Premiership contest, which was played against Aberdeen. During that game, Ross County had a 50 percent possession rate and 14 shots on goal, with four of them finding their mark. Aberdeen had 11 shots on goal, but only one of them was successful in hitting the target. Duk scored in the 17th minute of the game for Aberdeen. In recent encounters, it has been clear that there is a pattern in which at least one team does not score a goal in games that involve Ross County. A review of their activities during the past six meetings reveals that this has taken place five times. During these head-to-head contests, Ross County's opponents have scored seven goals while they themselves have netted seven goals. In the five league matches that came before this one, Ross County did not win any of them when they were away from their home field competing against Hearts.

Hearts and Ross County have a relatively strong head-to-head history, as they have competed against one another 26 times over the course of the previous seasons, with Hearts claiming victory in 10 of those contests and Ross County claiming victory in 2 of those contests. There were 14 games in total that ended in a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Hearts scored 37 goals, while Ross County only managed to score 24.

Both clubs have been going through rough patches recently, and it will be difficult to gauge their level of confidence heading into this contest. However, we have no choice but to put our faith in Hearts in this situation because we feel that they will pull off the victory at their own stadium against a team that is currently in last place. While we also anticipate a significant amount of work on defense, we should expect very few goals to be scored in this encounter.
