In the last six meetings between Motherwell and Hearts, three ended in draws, and there were two matches where each side scored three or more goals. This time the two arrive in clearly different shape. Motherwell have lost five league games in a row, while Hearts are still in 3rd place in the table. Motherwell do score a bit but their defence is leaking badly, conceding 16 goals in 9 matches, and the most recent 2-3 defeat was the same old picture: they compete but cannot shut the door. Hearts, for their part, have scored 20 goals in 9 matches, but they have just been thrashed 1-7 in the league and lost 0-2 in Europe, so their defence is not as solid as their position suggests. If Hearts open up and attack in the style that has produced plenty of goals late in games, Motherwell, who have to play at home, will be dragged into a trade of punches, and that is the path by which this game is more likely to finish with plenty of goals than with one side scoring first and closing it out.
