Head-to-head statistics Hearts - Rangers
Hearts: prolific in front of goal
Hearts won their last Premiership match away at Motherwell, 2-0. Motherwell actually had the better of the game in terms of shots (17-14) and expected goals (1.55 to 0.88), but failed to score.
Hearts put on an entertaining show at home, scoring and conceding in almost every match there. Their last five results show three wins and two defeats, which reflects defensive inconsistency alongside solid attacking output. An average of 2.2 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per match confirms a tendency towards open play. They still have something to play for in the table, but their motivation is rated as low for this point in the season - the team continue to sit near the top without any critical pressure on them.
Match Results: Heart of Midlothian
Rangers are in excellent form
Rangers' last Premier League match saw them thrash St Johnstone 4-0 at home. The dominance was reflected in the statistics: 21 shots to 9, nine on target to two, and an expected goals figure of 4.17 against 0.85.
Rangers go into this match on an impressive run: four wins and one draw from their last five games, with just one defeat in ten matches pointing to consistency across the squad. They are solid defensively, conceding an average of 0.7 goals per game, but they have not abandoned their attacking approach - their average of 1.7 goals scored per match across the season has been slightly higher over their more recent fixtures. Their league position means they need to keep picking up points to stay in contention for first place.
Match Results: Rangers
Goals Prediction / Total
In their last 7 home matches, Hearts have gone over 2.5 goals every time, which points to a high-scoring pattern at this ground. Their average goals scored at home this season is 3.25, while they concede an average of just 0.5 per match, which creates the potential for a comfortable three-or-more-goals scenario. Rangers' average total goals away from home is lower (1.4 scored), but given Hearts' home scoring record, the line looks justified. The price on Total Goals - Over 2.5 is 1.6*.
Corner Kick Prediction
Hearts have been consistently winning a high number of corners at home: in five consecutive home matches the team have gone over 4.5 corners. This run points to a tendency to earn a high volume of set pieces in the attacking third in home games. The price on Hearts Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 is 1.73*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Both Teams to Score - Yes has landed in 6 of Hearts' last 7 home matches. Hearts average 3.25 goals scored and 0.5 conceded per home game, yet the run of matches in which both sides have found the net underlines how relevant that scenario remains. Rangers' away record of 1.4 goals scored per match supports the likelihood of them getting on the scoresheet. The odds on Both Teams to Score - Yes are 1.51*.
Reliable Bet
Hearts have scored at home in 23 of their last 24 matches, which is an extremely consistent trend. Given the team's average of 3.25 goals per home game, the probability of them scoring at least once is very high. The price on Hearts Team Total - Over 0.5 Goals is 1.24*.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-1 (11.76%), 2-1 (8.11%) and 1-0 (8.04%). The 1-1 draw has the highest probability, though scenarios involving a narrow Hearts win also carry significant weight. All three outcomes reflect the balance between attacking output and defensive solidity on both sides.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
This match looks set to produce plenty of action at both ends, given Hearts' attacking output at home and Rangers' strong finishing throughout the season. The hosts are regularly involved in high-scoring home games, while the visitors have maintained their attacking tempo against everyone in the league - all of which is backed up by Hearts' run of consecutive home matches going over 2.5 goals and the strong attacking numbers on both sides, despite the hosts' moderate defensive record. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 1-2.
