Hearts and Rangers meet in the league with both sitting very close together at the top of the table. The hosts have just thrashed 5-0 at home in their latest league match, while the visitors have also just won 4-0, so both come in equally confident but with different styles. Hearts have scored plenty all season, but their defence has had spells where it fell apart badly and conceded several in a single game. Rangers, meanwhile, look clearly tighter, conceding only 7 in 10 matches and unbeaten in 5 straight. Their attack may not be as prolific as the hosts', but their consistency in picking up results is the clear difference. This game should open up early, because both sides have similar possession numbers and both have attacks that genuinely create chances. If Hearts get the first goal, the home atmosphere will push them to attack even harder, and the game could turn into a trade of blows with goals flowing at both ends - exactly the kind of rhythm Rangers are good at exploiting with their sharpness in turning chances into goals.
