It’s the final week of Scottish Premiership action before the split, and Motherwell host Hearts in a game which both sides will feel they must win in order to secure a spot in the top six this season. Along with St. Mirren, the teams are vying for a place in the top six after the split. Will the Well or Jam Tarts be the team we back with our key match prediction for this season-defining fixture?
The difference between the two teams in the table is minimal. Motherwell are eighth on 38 points from 32 games (-19 goal difference). Hearts are sixth with 39 points from 32 games (-1 goal difference). Sandwiched between them are St.Mirren (38 points from 32 games). So only a win or draw for Hearts or a win for Motherwell here today would offer them a chance of a top-six spot when the league splits following these games.
Motherwell won two, drew one, and lost two of their last five matches, but both defeats came in the two most recent matches. A 4-1 thrashing away to Aberdeen and then last weekend saw another away defeat, this time a 2-0 loss against Kilmarnock.
Hearts recent form isn’t great with three defeats in their last four including their last two matches: a 3-0 defeat away to Celtic and then a 1-0 home defeat last weekend to Dundee United.

Our Motherwell vs Heart Of Midlothian FC Prediction
Our prediction for the Motherwell vs. Hearts Scottish Premiership match is: Over 2.5 Goals.
72% of Motherwell fixtures played this season have seen over 2.5 goals scored and only Celtic boast a higher percentage of games. That is an eye-opening stat and one which when backed up with Hearts recent goal-filled away games, 15 goals in the last four matches, means that it is likely there will be plenty of chances at both ends in a game that both sides will feel they must win heading into the league split.
