It's early days in the Championship and both Hearts and Alloa Athletic are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

7-11-17 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Alloa Athletic when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 35 matches are 48-62 (scored/conceded).

Hearts form and stats

As mentioned below, Hearts are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Championship games. Two home wins in a row for Hearts bring valid hopes of a third.

Hearts lost their last game at Dunfermline Athletic (placed 1st) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that match, a League Cup win away at East Fife.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Hearts have performed as huge favourites like they are today: eight games found in the database showing six Hearts wins, one draw and one defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hearts as they are travelling to their away game against Alloa Athletic in the League Cup. That match is four days after this one.

At Tynecastle Park, Hearts has the goal stats of 8-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played seven away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with one win, five draws and one defeat. zero games were lost by at least two goals margin.

After this away game Alloa return home for a League Cup game against Hearts. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Alloa Athletic has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
