Hearts host newly promoted side St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday. The Jam Tarts are on an eight-match winning streak at home in the league and have won each of their last 10 meetings with St Johnstone, hence our prediction going against the away team.
Hearts will head into this weekend's league action in high spirits after surviving a scare from Rapid Wien to progress into the UEFA Conference League league phase, thanks to a 4–3 penalty shootout win on Wednesday. They thrashed visiting Dundee Utd 4–0 in their last Premiership outing, recovering from a narrow 2–1 defeat away to Aberdeen in the opening match.
Notably, the victory over Dundee Utd extended their winning streak at home in the Scottish top division to eight since last season. They have also won each of their last 10 Premiership matches against St Johnstone.
St Johnstone opened their Premiership campaign with a dramatic 4–3 victory over Kilmarnock. However, they suffered a setback in their second fixture, losing 1–0 away to St. Mirren.
The Saints have now failed to win three of their last four matches across cup and league fixtures in regulation time. That includes back-to-back defeats in their last two outings on the road.

Our Heart Of Midlothian FC vs St Johnstone Prediction
It's difficult to fancy St Johnstone’s chances of picking up a result on Saturday given their prolonged losing streak against Hearts. Their poor results in the last two matches away from home also do little to inspire confidence.
Hearts bounced back in style last time out after a narrow defeat in the league’s opening weekend. They will be out to continue their winning ways and extend their impressive home record in the league. Our Hearts vs St Johnstone prediction: Hearts wins.
