Hearts form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Hearts, who have the most scored goals (21) in Championship, have managed 4 wins, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 4 games. Hearts has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Tynecastle Park. We remember; it was Motherwell.
Before that game, the 6-1 home victory against Queen of the South.
Late drama in the game against Celtic (after extra-time) as Hearts were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until J. Ginnelly popped out and made it level in the 111st minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Hearts, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Celtic (after extra-time). Fun stuff to watch!
The match schedule is unforgiving for Hearts as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Arbroath are visiting.
Hearts always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Tynecastle Park with 17 goals in 4 league games. Hearts have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Ayr United form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Ayr United, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Championship, have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Ayr, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Arbroath (placed 9th). A draw for Ayr before that, at their own venue hosting Raith Rovers (0-0).
A new game in only three days for Ayr, the Championship home match versus Greenock Morton. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy Ayr's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. In the opposite end, Ayr have conceded 6 goals in their away games.
