Bitesize Prediction: Hearts vs Falkirk – 13/05/26

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Hearts win

Odds: 2/5 @ 1xBet

Knowing they they can officially get their hands on an iconic Premiership crown in midweek, Hearts will welcome Falkirk to Tynecastle on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, embarking on what has become an iconic fairytale this season, Hearts have cemented their spot as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages. Knowing that they could get their hands on a first Premiership crown since way back in 1960 if results go their way in midweek, Derek McInnes’ side have rightfully received a string of public praise from across the continent. Shattering a string of records and riding a major wave of momentum, the Jambos currently hold a slender one-point advantage over reigning champions and Scottish giants Celtic. Despite being left disappointed last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Motherwell, the former Aberdeen boss certainly finds the mood in his camp at a famous high. Getting May underway with a sensational 2-1 victory at home against Rangers, McInnes’ record-breaking squad have been handed a golden opportunity here. Likewise, Hearts have suffered just a single top-flight defeat since the middle of February.

As for the visitors, only making their Premiership return this season, Falkirk will certainly take plenty of positives away from what has been an eye-catching campaign among Scotland’s elite. However, despite dragging themselves to a top-half finish, John McGlynn’s side have shown some recent issues. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a thumping 3-1 defeat at home against Hibernian, the Bairns have now registered just a single victory from any of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Watching their Scottish Cup adventure come to a shock end last month as they suffered penalty shootout heartbreak against Championship outfit Dunfermline, Falkirk will be bracing themselves for a stern examination when they travel to Tynecastle in midweek. Rightfully installed as a landslide underdog against the leading title contenders on Wednesday night, it should also be highlighted that McGlynn’s side fell to a 1-0 defeat when they travelled to Hearts for a top-flight showdown back on February 21st.
