We said: Hearts 2-1 Motherwell

Hearts have been on a tremendous run in recent months, collecting 25 points from a possible 27 in their last nine league outings. They will be confident of stretching their winning streak on Saturday. However, Motherwell are tough to beat, with only Rangers getting the better of them across their last nine matches. We can envisage them giving it a good go against their third-placed opposition, but tiredness could count against them after their midweek involvements. Read more.
