Hearts have won two of their three meetings this season
Hearts won 6-0 in their latest match
Hearts are averaging two goals a game in their last ten matches
Semi Final looms for Hearts
Hearts face Dundee in the quarter-finals of the Scottish FA Cup. This will be the fourth time they have faced each other this season, with Dundee winning the first meeting and Hearts winning the next two, the most recent of which was a one-sided 6-0 victory. Hearts’ season has been a tale of two halves, with the first being largely forgettable as they sat bottom in the early stages of the league campaign, But they have turned it around and are on a great run of form, sitting fourth in the form table over the last ten matches. They now have an opportunity to go on a cup run for a trophy they have not won since 2012.
After Hearts lost 3-1 to Dundee United in the second round of league fixtures, they went on to lose their next seven games in all competitions. It was clear something wasn’t right, and that poor run of form led to the departure of Steven Naismith. Neil Critchley has come in and got Hearts playing at the level they should be. They are a better side than Dundee, as they have proven in the last two meetings, and should come out of this with a win.
Hearts have averaged two goals per game in their last ten matches, so it may be worth betting on 2-0 as the correct score
