Prediction : Inverness 1-1 Hearts
Clearly
my poor Jambo's have serious financial woe's at the moment which could
even spell the end of them (but our amazing fans won't let that happen)
but it was interesting to hear Jim Jeffries a couple of weeks ago say
that it did seriously affect the players the last time round when they
were not getting paid, so dont just think they are pro's and will get on
with things on the park. Things like this DO affect players. Anyway I'm
done talking about the money problems as its been discussed in the pub
to the max at the moment, historically Hearts usually do pretty well up
in Inverness but this time round they are facing a bang on form Butcher
team that is now unbeaten in their last 9 matches which is pretty much
remarkable imho given how shite they were last season. I think I have
spotted a tidy little bet to place on this match with decent odds
probably because of the fact that Inverness have been scoring so much
recently and the fact that the majority of their games have been going
over 2.5 goals. But I shall back UNDER 2.5 goals @ 1.85 (Bwin).
Reason for this is that if you look at Hearts away games since the start
of the season 7 out of 8 of them have stayed under 2.5 this is because
we actually have one of the best defences in the league. Only Celtic and
Aberdeen have let in less goals and if only we had a decent keeper then
I reckon we would have the best defensive record in the SPL. Result
wise I hope for a Hearts 1-1 draw but again scoring goals away from home
is always a problem.

Prediction : Kilmarnock 1-1 Ross County
Both
these teams have had very similar form this season and it shows in the
league positions as both are on 15pts with Kilmarnock winning slightly
more games and County drawing more. It is County who have picked up a
little recently and are now unbeaten in their last 3 games and I believe
this will be enough to secure them a draw in this fixture and may be
even a win. With my hatred of Kenny Shiels aside...... I'll be LAYING KILMARNOCK @ around 2.5 (betfair)

Probable XI - Douglas, Irvine, McGregor, Lookwood, Benedictus, Riley, mcBride, Davidson, McAllister, Milne, Nish (4-4-2)
Prediction : Motherwell 2-0 Dundee
Motherwell
have been through a terrible run of form lately but not helped by the
midweek defeat to Dundee Utd, but I think the best medicine for them is a
game against Dundee - the worst team in the league by a mile. Dundee
stunned us again last week with their 2nd win of the season over Hearts
but I'm happy to ignore that as they are still rubbish. Motherwell just
have too much quality in their team to not win this match. Gonna take Motherwell -1.25 asian Handicap @ 2.15 (bet365)

Prediction : St Mirren 1-1 Aberdeen
Can't
help but wonder why Aberdeen are priced as short as they are for this
game. St Mirren are a little better when they play at home. The draw
seems a more likely result to me and it has happened the last 5 times
the sides have met! The Dons suffered only their 2nd defeat of the
season last week against Ross County, but they have also draw more games
than they have won. Take the DRAW @ 3.4 (bet365) also consider under 2.5 @ 1.8 (betvictor)
