Hearts, Recent FormHearts have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 away win against St Johnstone in their previous league match. During that encounter they had 68% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 9 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Tynecastle Park.
Hearts will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Lawrence Shankland will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Hearts.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormKilmarnock head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 home win against Rangers in their last league encounter. In that game they had 32% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Rangers who had 18 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Derek McInnes will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Kyle Vassell will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Kilmarnock.
