The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Ross County are in the 8th position while the guesting Hearts worry at 12th.
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.
For Hearts it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
Ross County form and stats
4-1-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Premiership numbers at home for Ross County, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Premiership, so far this season.
The fans are hoping that Ross County will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Scottish Cup game against Ayr United. A 1-1 draw away in the Premiership before that, with St. Johnstone the opponent.
There will be little rest for Ross County after this match as they are travelling to Celtic for a Premiership game in only three days.
Ross County are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 10 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Ross County with 21 goals conceded in these matches.
Hearts form and stats
There's been little loot from Hearts's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the Premiership. Hearts only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing five defeats in a row for Hearts in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Livingston.
Hearts are travelling after their nice 5-0 home win in the Scottish Cup against Airdrieonians. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Aberdeen.
As mentioned above, Hearts was the only team on the pitch versus Airdrieonians in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
A new game in only four days for Hearts, the Premiership home match versus Rangers. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hearts as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Hearts have conceded 19 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
