Motherwell goalkeeper Aston Oxborough — It could be a busy afternoon for Motherwell keeper Aston Oxborough

Motherwell are coming in hot to 2025 and Tobias Gourlay reckons they'll put on a show at Tynecastle this afternoon

Struggling Hearts netted in 8 straight home games
+2.5 Goals in 8/9 Motherwell away matches
Back +2.5 Goals

Hearts v Motherwell
Thursday 15:00

In the London suburbs yesterday, Wealdstone's game with Boston was postponed because of heavy rain.

Hopefully it'll be goals raining down in Edinburgh this afternoon. Eleventh-placed Hearts host sixth-placed Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership and there's reason to believe it could be an entertaining game...

Both teams have scored on 7/9 of Motherwell's away days to this point. The visitors have netted in 8/9 - only league leaders Celtic have stopped them - and conceded in 8/9. Eight of the nine also delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total, including 4/4 at bottom-half teams like Motherwell.

Hearts are W3-D3-L4 at Tynecastle this season. They've scored on each of their last eight appearances there, with five of the most recent seven producing Over 2.5 Goals. That's our bet on this one.
