League leaders Hearts look to extend their four-point gap at the top with another victory over Dundee United in Round 24. With its first league title in 66 years in sight, The Jam Tarts cannot afford another slip-up. But with The Terrors holding them to a draw last time out, fans and punters wonder if Hearts can really pull through. Let's get into this match prediction.
Hearts slipped up to Celtic in their latest 2-2, but they at least managed to keep The Bhoys from cutting the gap. But Rangers have now climbed to second and are just four points behind Hearts, making this a must-win game for The Jam Tarts.
In truth, Hearts have still been stellar in recent games, winning six of its last eight games and only losing one to Hibernian. They shouldn't be confident travelling to Dundee United, but not overly so, seeing as The Terrors held ten to a draw in the last meeting.
Even in the first meeting at this stadium this season, Hearts only escaped with a 3-2 win, underscoring just how tough Dundee can be to beat. However, the home team has slumped in recent games, losing back-to-back to namesakes Dundee FC (1-0) and Celtic (4-0).
