Level 1 Bet Builder Tip

🏆 Hearts (+2) Handicap

📈 Odds: 1.33

Rangers have only won 2 of their 12 away fixtures in the league this season by a margin of more than a single goal. The previous matches between these clubs this season have both been tight affairs. There has been only 1 goal across these fixtures, and given Hearts’ recent strong form, there is little to suggest this match will be very different. The Jambos have suffered only 1 defeat across their last 11 matches in all competitions, winning 5 of their last 7 in 90 minutes. Hearts have a strong defensive record despite their injury list. They have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5 league games. Neil Critchley’s home side have suffered only 1 home defeat since the end of November, while Celtic are the only visiting team to have won by a multi-goal margin at Tynecastle in domestic football all season.

🚩 Over 3.5 Hearts Corners

📈 Odds: 1.53

Hearts stand third in the Scottish Premiership when it comes to winning corners this season. They have picked up 6.36 corners per game and 6.75 when playing at home. With 13 goals scored from set-pieces in the league this season, the Jambos will be seeking to play for these situations. No team has netted more from dead balls this term in the Premiership than the Edinburgh side. Rangers have not been particularly robust when it comes to avoiding the concession of corners this season. They have leaked 4.16 on average in the league but 5.08 away from home. Hearts have won 14 corners in their 2 matches against Rangers this season, with at least 6 picked up in each fixture.

🛑 James Penrice to Commit 1+ Fouls

📈 Odds: 1.25

Penrice stands third among Hearts players when it comes to fouls conceded this season with 30, an average of 1.41 per 90. He has conceded at least 1 foul in 19 of his last 24 starts in the Premiership and Europe, giving up a free-kick against Rangers in each of the previous meetings against the Gers. Will leave spaces in behind him when he attacks, which mean that he could have to commit a tactical foul to break up a counterattack. He has delivered a team-high 154 crosses, which is the third-highest figure in the league and underlines the fact that Hearts are likely to push him forward at every opportunity. No Hearts outfield player has featured for more minutes than the left-back, who has earned 1,915 minutes of league action this season. He has not been replaced in a single match that he has started.

🎯 Vaclav Cerny to have 1+ Shot on Target

📈 Odds: 1.50

Cerny has 26 shots on target in the league this season, which is the highest figure among active players. Kyogo Furuhashi has more but left Celtic in January to Rennes. The Czech winger has 1.42 shots on target per 90 and is a key attacking outlet for the Ibrox club. Has shots on target with tremendous consistency. He is currently on a run of 9 successive matches in which he has mustered at least 1 effort on target, which he has had at least 1 shot on target in 23 of his last 25 games. In his previous match against Hearts – the only game he has started against the Jambos – he had 1 shot on target and 3 efforts overall.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip

🟨 Over 2.5 Hearts Cards

📈 Odds: 2.10

Hearts have picked up 3 cards (all yellow) in each of their 2 previous matches against Rangers this season. Average 2.24 cards per match in the Premiership but this is likely to be a more combative match than average, forcing Hearts to adopt a more defensive approach and giving them more opportunities to pick up bookings. Referee John Beaton is also an official who likes to produce cards. The match official has averaged 5.79 cards per game this season. Beaton has refereed Hearts particularly harshly, giving 13.5 fouls per match against them. This is the second highest figure of any team he has refereed more than once – only Rangers have a higher tally. Hearts only average 11.0 fouls in the Premiership this term, which underlines how the ref takes a dim view of their approach.

🎯 Musa Drameh to have 1+ Shot on Target

📈 Odds: 1.67

Drammeh is an in-form attacker whose contribution has been overshadowed by new signing Elton Kabangu, yet the Belgian’s presence appears to be opening up spaces for the winger to exploit. He has at least 1 shot on target in 4 of his last 5 league starts and mustered 2 in his previous Tynecastle outing against Motherwell. At least 1 effort on goal in each of his last 3 home games. Yet to start against Rangers this term but in his most recent cameo off the bench against Celtic, which lasted under 15 minutes, he managed a shot on target. The Spaniard is, therefore, capable of posing a threat against Scotland’s best clubs and looks a big price at 1.67.

🚩 Over 9.5 Corners

📈 Odds: 1.62

Corners appear a good bet in this match, with Rangers second in the Premiership for corners won with 6.84 per match and Hearts sitting on 6.36 in third. The strength of the home side from set pieces will encourage them to seek these situations. While Rangers’ league matches average 11.0 corners, Hearts’ matches are slightly higher at 11.04, rising to 11.25 at home. 72% of Rangers matches in the league have seen double figures in the corner count, with two in every three Hearts home games hitting these heights. Previous matches between these clubs point to a high count here that make 10 appear a conservative estimate. Although there were no goals in the opening match of the season at Tynecastle, there were 15 corners. When the sides met at Ibrox in November, that figure was equalled.

🛑 Mohamed Diomande to Commit 2+ Fouls

📈 Odds: 1.33

Diomande has committed 34 fouls across the Premiership and Europa League this season, which is the second-highest figure among Rangers players behind only Nicolas Raskin (52). He averages 1.37 fouls per 90 overall but 1.34 in the Premiership. Hearts seem to bring out the aggressive side of the Ivory Coast international as he has committed 2 fouls in both previous matches against the Edinburgh club this season.    One of the reasons for this is that Hearts are liable to have more of the ball than most Scottish Premiership opponents, with the Edinburgh side third in the whole league for possession. The Jambos have a midfield that is particularly capable of winning fouls. Cammy Devlin stands second in the entire league having picked up 46 free-kicks this season. The Australian is winning 2.69 fouls per 90 in the league.
