Kick-off: 7.45 UK Time, Wednesday 30th October 2024

Heart of Midlothian and Kilmarnock both sit in the bottom half of the Scottish Premiership table after nine rounds of fixtures and they lock horns at Tynecastle on Wednesday evening in what looks set to be a closely fought encounter.

Steadied the ship

Heart of Midlothian endured a thoroughly miserable start to their 2024/25 Scottish Premiership campaign but they appear to have steadied the ship somewhat since the arrival of new manager Neil Critchley. In their season opener, the Jambos shared the spoils with Rangers in a goal-less draw before suffering defeat in each of their subsequent eight games across competitions, this dreadful run leading to the sacking of Steven Naismith. Liam Fox took the reins in an interim capacity prior to the appointment of Critchley and he saw an immediate improvement in the side with a draw against Ross County, win over Dinamo Minsk and narrow defeat to joint league leaders Aberdeen.

Unbeaten start

Since then, the Tynecastle outfit have beaten Omonia to the tune of 2-0 in the UEFA Europa Conference League and drawn 1-1 with arch-rivals Hibernian, therefore Critchley will look to extend his unbeaten start to life in the hot-seat when his new charges take on Kilmarnock on Wednesday evening.

Bounce back

Kilmarnock also struggled in the early stages of the campaign with just a single win in their opening thirteen competitive outings along with six draws and six defeats during that time. Derek McInnes’s men grabbed their first win of the season when beating Dundee 3-2 early this month and they followed this with a surprise 1-0 win over Rangers. Nevertheless, the Ayrshire side fell to defeat again when surrendering a single goal lead to lose 2-1 to Ross County and they will be eager to bounce back by taking three points in the Scottish capital this week.

Reinvigorated

The Jambos have been somewhat reinvigorated since Critchley was appointed as permanent manager and we envisage his unbeaten start to life in the hot-seat continuing with three points against a Kilmarnock outfit which will nee rather deflated on the back of their defeat to Ross County last time out.

Back Hearts to win and both teams to score at best odds of 14/5
