Hearts form and stats

Hearts participated in League Cup the last season, where they reached the semi-finals.

Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The fans are hoping that Hearts will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premiership game against St. Mirren. A Premiership defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at St. Mirren.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Hearts matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, two draws and zero defeats (from two games).

The manager R. Neilson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cowdenbeath in only four days.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Inverness CT when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
