Hearts v Motherwell Tips – Little cheer for cash-strapped Hearts

Troubled Hearts go up against Stuart McCall’s high-flying Motherwell on Christmas Eve.

The cash-strapped Jambos go into the Tynecastle showdown with a myriad of problems to contend with as boss Paulo Sergio is without midfielder Ryan Stevenson, who is set to sit out over his ongoing frustrations with events at the club.

Winger Andrew Driver also told Sergio he no longer wanted to be considered for selection last week, but could make a U-turn and play in the match.

David Templeton could miss out following illness, while defenders Danny Grainger, Darren Barr and long-term absentees Kevin Kyle, Gary Glen and Suso Santana remain out.

Due to the off-the-field problems it is no surprise that Hearts’ home form has been patchy of late with three wins and three defeats in their last six outings.

Motherwell come into the game on a real high with a return of five wins and one defeat from the last six on the road, with 12 goals scored in the process.

However, their hopes of success on Saturday have been hit by the loss of influential skipper Steve Jennings, who has received a retrospective two-match ban from the Scottish Football Association following a clash with St Mirren’s Jim Goodwin last weekend.

Long-term injury victim Steven Saunders (Achilles) is the only other player on the sidelines.

The last meeting at Tynecastle produced a thrilling 3-3 draw, while Motherwell have won two and drawn two of their previous four games in Edinburgh.

It is an interesting clash as we feel it could be another stalemate, although don’t be shocked if Motherwell take advantage of Hearts’ problems and just come out on top.

Prediction: Draw 90 Minutes @ 9/4 Betfred
Value Bet: 2-2 Draw Correct Score @ 14/1
