💡 Here’s what you’ll learn:

When the two teams met at Tynecastle in August, they produced their best game of the season so far.

Jens Berthel Askew’s Motherwell side took a three-goal lead with some of the fluid football we have become accustomed to from them this season, before Hearts came back to snatch a point thanks to a Claudio Braga brace.

They square off again this weekend, with a similar high-scoring showdown hopefully in the works.

Motherwell rose to fourth place in the standings after four wins from their last five league matches, and a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen in the other match.

On the other hand, Hearts stumbled for the first time this season.

They lost 1-0 to Pittodrie last weekend – their first league defeat – and have dropped points in three of their four matches since beating Celtic last month.

Hearts could move seven points clear of Celtic if they win, although the defending champions could reduce that deficit to four points when they face Hibernian on Sunday.

Will Derek McInnes’ side continue their title quest or will Motherwell move within six points of their rivals?
