Hearts will be aiming to get back to winning ways on Saturday when they travel to Kilmac Stadium to face Dundee.

The Dark Blues are just two points above the relegation zone and have lost their previous two fixtures, which they will be keen to turn around.

We say: Dundee 1-2 Hearts

The form of Hearts has been hit and miss as of late, but on paper, they do have a stronger squad heading into this fixture, which does make them the favourites.

Dundee are fighting for their survival in the SPL and certainly will not go down easily in this match, but this is one that the Jam Tarts should be able to see out.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Livingston vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Livingston shall be hoping to extend their winning run to three games on Saturday when they host Ross County, who currently find themselves in the relegation zone.

The Staggies have improved their fortunes as of late, going four games in a row without a loss, but that record was brought to an end in their last outing.

We say: Livingston 1-2 Ross County

While Livingston are higher in the league table it is actually Ross County that head into this game on stronger form in their previous six fixtures.

This is something that could come into play on Saturday, with the Staggies having the qualities capable of winning this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Motherwell vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Motherwell will be back in action on Saturday when they host St Johnstone at Fir Park as they look to respond to being defeated by Celtic last weekend.

Meanwhile, after six games in a row without a victory, the visitors are also in a need of three points as they attempt to get themselves off the foot of the table

We say: Motherwell 2-0 St Johnstone

St Johnstone are struggling at the moment and their lack of goals is an alarming problem that is stopping them from progressing up the table.

On the other hand, Motherwell have been getting mixed results, but when it comes to Saturday they should have enough quality to secure three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rangers vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rangers will be out for revenge on Saturday as they host Dundee United, who are the only team to have defeated them in the Scottish Premiership this season.

The visitors are currently fourth in the table, but they head into the match following consecutive defeats, which is a run that the Terrors want to end.

We say: Rangers 2-0 Dundee United

While Dundee United were able to gain three points when the two teams met earlier this season, it is going to be a tough task if they want to repeat that feat.

The Gers are in impressive form heading into this game and the fact they have gone four games without conceding a goal is going to breed confidence into the group, which will likely lead to them winning.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
