St Mirren vs Hearts Predictions

• Hearts have lost one of their last ten matches.
• Hearts have conceded just one goal in their last six away games.
• St Mirren have lost four of their last five outings on the own patch

Buddies set for another struggle

There was joy at St Mirren Park on Boxing Day when they home side beat Rangers 2-1, but four of the Buddies’ last five home matches have ended in defeats and they look likely to suffer another reverse against in-form Hearts in the Scottish Cup on Monday.

Dundee, Dundee United and St Johnstone have all left Paisley with the points recently and St Mirren have failed to score in six of their 13 home domestic games this season, including the last two.

Hearts can ease through to the next round

St Mirren have been quite resolute on their own patch, conceding more than once in just one of their last ten home games, but hearts have been rampant on the road.

The Jambos were 4-1 winners over Brechin in the last round of the Scottish Cup and then fired six without reply at Dundee last week.

The Edinburgh outfit should be able to build on that form and claim a win and a 2-0 Jambos success could be of interest for those looking to place a correct-score bet.
