Heart Of Midlothian vs Dundee prediction

Heart of Midlothian welcome Dundee to Tynecastle sitting third in the Premiership table with nine points from their opening four fixtures. The Edinburgh side have started cleanly on their home turf in league play, winning both home matches with six goals scored and just one conceded. Their attacking output has been reliable across the opening weeks, averaging 2.5 goals per game in domestic action.

Dundee arrive in fifth place after collecting seven points from their five matches, recording two victories, one draw, and two defeats. While they secured a 2-0 away victory against Dundee United earlier in the campaign, their offensive numbers remain modest at 1.2 goals scored per game, balancing that with a solid defensive record of four goals conceded in five outings.

Historical head-to-head records heavily favour the hosts, who have claimed victory in eight of the last ten meetings between the two sides. That sequence includes five wins from six encounters in Edinburgh, with Hearts also taking 1-0 victories in both of the clashes played earlier in 2026.
