Hearts prepare to entertain Kilmarnock at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jambo's are clearly on top, having won 50 and lost only 18 of the 93 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was earlier this season, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.

Its a close one to call, but I think that Jambo's's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Kilmarnock. Home Win
