Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Claudio Braga to score anytime6/5 (Sky Bet)Claudio Braga has led the Hearts line well as they have climbed to third, scoring 14 goals as a team along the way. St. Mirren arrive on the back of three straight defeats, beaten 3-0 at home by Dundee United last time out, and look there for the taking. With Hearts dominant at Tynecastle and Braga their focal point, he is well placed to find the net. At 6/5 the striker is a fair price in a game the hosts should control.
Hearts 2-0 St. Mirren15/2 (Betfred)Hearts are strong at home and face a St. Mirren side in freefall, having lost their last three and conceded three at home to Dundee United last time. The hosts have the quality to win comfortably and keep a clean sheet against opponents low on confidence. A 2-0 home win fits the pattern of a strong home side against a struggling visitor. At 15/2 the correct score offers a tidy price on Hearts easing to the points at Tynecastle, with the Buddies having lost three on the spin.
