Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Hearts vs. Hibernian

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Scottish Premiership fixtures, including Hearts vs. Hibernian.


Aberdeen vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Ross County will make the trip to the Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday as they face Aberdeen, and both teams will be hoping to find themselves in the top half before the division is cut.

This is the final match before that takes place, and a victory for either team has the possibility of pushing them up, depending on other results.

We say: Aberdeen 1-2 Ross County


Both teams have got a lot to play for in this match before the division splits in half, with each club having the potential to finish in the top half.

However, Ross County's slightly stronger form as of late could prove to be the difference-maker between them, in what will likely be a close encounter.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Celtic vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams at opposite ends of the Scottish Premiership table will meet on Saturday when St Johnstone make the trip to face Celtic, with both teams needing points for different reasons.

The Hoops will be aiming to continue their momentum after winning the Old Firm derby, while the visitors are fighting in the relegation battle.

We say: Celtic 3-1 St Johnstone


This match is an important one for both teams, as each club is desperate to pick up points for their own distinct reasons.

While St Johnstone will no doubt put plenty of fight into this one, Celtic are likely going to take all three points with their quality set to be the difference.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Dundee Utd vs. Dundee (Saturday, 3.00pm)

The Dundee derby takes place this Saturday with both teams trying to get back to winning ways following draws in their most recent outings.

Dundee are continuing to fight for survival as they sit bottom of the table, while just a point will guarantee Dundee United can be in the top half when the division splits.

We say: Dundee United 2-0 Dundee


A derby day encounter is normally always a tense situation, and that will certainly be the case this weekend when Dundee United host Dundee.

The visitors have plenty to fight for in terms of keeping their dreams of avoiding relegation going, but the hosts have a stronger squad, which could be the difference-maker.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Hearts vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian will be aiming to secure a place in the top half on Saturday before the Scottish Premiership table is split when they travel to Tynecastle Stadium in order to face Hearts for the Edinburgh derby.

The hosts have already guaranteed their position in that, but they will be wanting to gain momentum for when they meet the Hibees again next weekend in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

We say: Hearts 2-0 Hibernian


The visitors have got a lot more to play for in this particular match, as they have the chance to secure a place in the top half of the table before it splits.

Hearts will not make that an easy situation for them, and considering the extra quality that they have as a squad, they should be able to secure all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Livingston vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Livingston will be looking to end a three-game losing run in the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Motherwell to the Toni Macaroni Arena on Saturday afternoon.

The Lions have only lost two of their last nine league games on home soil, while the Steelmen are yet to win away from home in 2022.

We say: Livingston 1-2 Motherwell


The momentum now seems to be with Motherwell heading into Saturday's contest, and considering their recent results against Livingston, the Steelmen will be confident of success in West Lothian.

With Anderson set to miss out, the Lions may struggle to pose a threat in the final third, and so we feel that the visitors will do enough to claim all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
