Hearts vs Falkirk Predictions

Hearts too hot for Bairns

Take Hearts to beat Falkirk at Tynecastle on Sunday. Wouter Vrancken’s side have been scoring plenty of goals this season and should have too much for John McGlynn’s team.

Hearts are third, one place above Falkirk in the table, with both teams having won more games than they’ve lost this season. The hosts have six wins and three defeats, while the visitors have five wins and four losses.

The goals have been flowing for Hearts in recent games, with the hosts scoring two or more goals in seven of their 11 Premiership matches this season. They have been impressive in front of goal at home, averaging three goals per game from five matches.

Hearts are in excellent form at home, having gone 26 league games unbeaten on their own patch. They have won 16 of their last 20 Premiership home games and are unbeaten in their five home matches this season.

They have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just four goals in five Premiership games – an average of 0.80 goals per game. They have kept four clean sheets in the last five league meetings with Falkirk.

No team has had more games with under 2.5 goals in the Premiership than Falkirk this term, and two of Hearts’ six wins have been by a two-goal margin. A 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option.
