The Championship season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Hearts and Inverness CT promises to be an interesting one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Hearts form and stats
Hearts have only played one Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats from 15 matches.
A nice win for Hearts last time playing, versus Hibernian (after extra-time). That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with L. Boyce and C. Wighton scoring for the victors. Before that match, a Championship win away at Arbroath.
Hearts are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found three matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won one, drew one and lost one.
The manager R. Neilson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to East Fife in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Hearts at home in the league. 6 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Inverness CT form and stats
Inverness CT have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Championship were 6 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats from 14 fixtures.
Inverness had fun at their own home (Tynecastle Park) last time out, beating Arbroath 3-1. N. Todorov, D. Mackay and S. Allardice scored. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Ayr United.
The schedule is very tough for Inverness now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at Raith Rovers is waiting in only three days.
It's early days yet, but Inverness CT has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Hearts victories, four draws and one Inverness CT win. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
