Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we’re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Over 10.5 corners<\/strong><\/td>21\/20 (Ladbrokes<\/a>)<\/td>Both of these sides generate corners in bulk. Rangers average almost eight corners a game and their league matches have averaged around 12 in total, with eight of their 10 going over 10.5. Hearts win 6.7 a game themselves and racked up 14 in the 2-1 home win over Dundee. Across both teams’ league fixtures, 12 of 20 have topped 10.5 corners, and with Hearts likely to commit men forward at Tynecastle and Rangers pressing for the win, 21\/20 with Ladbrokes about more than 10 corners is a fair price.<\/td><\/tr>
Claudio Braga to score anytime<\/strong><\/td>51\/20 (10bet<\/a>)<\/td>Claudio Braga has been Hearts’ main threat this season, sharing top spot in the club’s scoring charts with Calvin Miller on four goals and starting all 10 league games through the middle. Hearts have scored in every league game and been especially potent at Tynecastle, where they have racked up 13 goals in four outings. Rangers have generally defended well, but they have conceded in each of the last five meetings with Hearts, and with Braga set to lead the line in front of a full house, 51\/20 with 10bet is well worth taking.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Hearts go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearts have been excellent at Tynecastle, winning all four home league games and scoring 13 goals while conceding just two on their own patch. Overall they sit third on 19 points, with six wins from 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearts come in off a 2-0 win at Motherwell<\/a>, which followed a 7-1 thrashing at Celtic<\/a>, and they have found the net in every league game so far. Claudio Braga and Calvin Miller<\/a> lead the way with four goals each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Rangers go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rangers travel through to Edinburgh in strong form, second on 23 points and beaten just once in the league all season. They have conceded only seven goals and kept five clean sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gers’ most recent outing was a 4-0 home win over St Johnstone, and they memorably won 1-0 at Celtic earlier in the run. On the road they are yet to lose in the league, though Tynecastle has been a happy hunting ground for the hosts of late.<\/p>\n\n\n
