Hearts v Motherwell – Match Preview

Hearts v Motherwell – Match Preview

Written By:

A massive match for both teams, as Hearts look to extend their lead at the top of the table against Motherwell, who haven’t won in four.

It was a thriller the last time these two sides met at Tynecastle, the result ending 3-3.

And that was just the start of what was going to be a fantastic season for both.

Hearts have remained on top of the table for much of the season. However, their colossal lead at the top has been cut down to just one point with six games remaining.

But Hearts have shown over the course of the league campaign that any setbacks will not phase them.

And after last weekends draw with bottom of the table Livingston, which will feel like a defeat to the Hearts squad and support, it’s so important that three points are collected in the final fixture before the split.

On a positive note for Hearts, they remain undefeated in the league at Tynecastle this season, which shows how much of an important factor the Hearts fans are in the race for their first league title in 66 years.

For Motherwell, they have also had a remarkable season. Jens Berthel Askou has certainly changed Motherwell’s technical brand, as they have been playing some of the best football the country has seen in a long time.

The Steelmen currently sit in fourth place, three points ahead of Hibs. And they have the chance to cause damage in Hearts’ title challenge on Saturday afternoon.

Although Motherwell have only picked up one point in four matches, the quality on show throughout the season from Askou’s side expresses that they will be coming to Edinburgh in hope to get back to winning ways.
