Hearts vs Dumbarton Predictions

• Hearts have scored four goals in each of their League Cup games so far
• The hosts have won each of their last seven games
• Dumbarton lost 4-0 to Championship opposition on Saturday
• The visitors conceded 13 goals in four matches in their League Cup campaign last summer

Hearts to extend winning streak

Hearts’ impressive finish to last season has carried into their Scottish League Cup campaign, with the Jambos winning three games from three in style.

Hearts have scored four times in all three of their cup games, all but securing their place in the knockout rounds. They’ll be in no mood to ease up now, having extended their winning streak to seven games including the tail end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Hearts scored nine times as they won their final four Premiership matches last season. They’ve taken that to another level against lower-league opposition, so expect them to have little trouble against a Dumbarton side who were relegated from League One last season.

The visitors lost 4-0 to Dunfermline at the weekend, while they conceded 13 times when they finished bottom of their League Cup group last year. Back Hearts to record another routine win.
