Kelty Hearts delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Linfield in their previous game; a Challenge Cup duel.

Before that, Kelty Hearts secured a home win against Peterhead with the score 3-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hearts as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
