Stenhousemuir vs HeartsPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

A League Cup quarter-final at Ochilview Park, with no table to lean on but a very clear recent record on both sides. Stenhousemuir arrive on the back of four straight wins: 3-1 at home to Inverness CT, 2-0 at Queen's Park, 1-0 at home to Motherwell and 2-0 against Morton, with a 1-1 draw at Raith Rovers before that. Five outings, no defeats. Heart Of Midlothian are also unbeaten in their last five: 3-1 away at Hibernian, 2-1 at home to ST Johnstone, two draws with Rapid Vienna (1-1 away and 2-2 at home) and a 6-2 win over Inverness CT, an opponent both teams have beaten in this run. The only meeting on record dates back to July 2019 and finished 2-1 to Heart Of Midlothian, on that occasion on their own ground. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
