Hearts will be looking to maintain their recent impressive form when they host Dundee on Tuesday night.
Since their promotion from the Scottish Championship in 2020-21, the hosts have proven to be a formidable force in this division. Steven Naismith’s team has consistently finished the first half of the past two seasons among the top four, a streak that is not likely to end this season. With their victory over Spartans in the Scottish Cup, the Maroons have now gone six games without defeat, securing five wins and one draw.
Meanwhile, Dundee, one of the new teams in the Scottish Premiership, led by Tony Docherty, won the championship last season with a significant five-point margin, securing their promotion. However, they have found top-tier football challenging. The Dark Blues are currently seventh and have only managed one victory in their last seven matches, as they head into Tuesday’s game.
Hearts vs Dundee FC Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Hearts have managed to net a minimum of one goal in their previous seven matches, yet defensive improvements are still required. Steven Naismith’s team, on the other hand, has failed to score in their last three games, with both sides managing to find the back of the net in all three encounters.
In addition to that, Dundee seldom fail to net in their recent league matches. Only once in their previous eight league matches have the visitors failed to score, with an average of one goal per game during that period. Both teams found the back of the net in five of those matches.

Dundee head coach Tony Docherty will not have Adam Legzdins available due to injury.
The 37-year-old was replaced before half-time in the loss to Kilmarnock due to an injury, and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks.
In that game, the front-two pairing was formed by Amadou Bakayoko and Scott Tiffoney, and it is not expected to change on Tuesday.
