In a mid week match on Wednesday Feb 9th, in week 26, Hearts plays host to Dundee in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premiership teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 3rd placed Hearts, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Hibernian. Hibernian had 14 on net, and Hearts had 12, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Hearts should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Dundee recorded a 1-2 loss against Ross County. Zak Rudden struck first for Dundee in the 24th minute, but Joseph Hungbo got the equalizer for Ross County in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 80th minute on a goal by Regan Charles-Cook. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10.
In their last match together, Hearts was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Jamie Walker scored the first goal for Hearts in the 75th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Dundee couldn’t muster any offence and Hearts ran away with the shutout win.
Leigh Griffiths and Zak Rudden are the top scorers for Dundee in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Josh Ginnelly has been the most effective weapon for Hearts lately. The English midfielder has netted 2 goals in his last five matches.
