St. Mirren vs Hearts Prediction 10.02.2025 | Scottish Cup

• Competition: Scottish Cup - Round of 16
• Date: Monday, 10th, February 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: The SMISA Stadium (Paisley)

The battle for a spot in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals will see two Premiership sides clash as St. Mirren host Hearts at The SMISSA Stadium on Monday.

The start of the new calendar year for St. Mirren has been far from what they hoped for, as they found themselves on the wrong side of the result in four of their first six matches, including the last one in which they were narrowly beaten 0-1 by St. Johnstone, which dropped them into the red zone of the table. During that rotten period, the Buddies scraped out a win on just two occasions, with one of those rare success coming against third-tier side Queens of South, whom they defeated 3-1 in a routine performance that allowed them to qualify for the round-of-16 in the national cup.

Standing in their way are a Hearts side who coming into this cup tie in the buoyant mood they gained from their most recent league action, when they did a lot of damage to FC Dundee's defensive line by laying six unanswered goals past them. Right now, the Jam Tarts are riding the wave of three consecutive triumphs across all competitions, a run that includes a 4-1 demolition of fifth-division club Brechin City, with which they secured their place in the Scottish Cup last-16 for the fourth year in a row.

St. Mirren vs Hearts Betting Tips : HEARTS TO WIN

Although they’ll have the home advantage, we think St. Mirren will find it hard to stave off elimination from this round of the Scottish Cup, particularly given that they’ve delivered several letdowns to their fans, losing four of their last five games in Paisley. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Hearts have looked revitalized since the start of the new calendar year, having demolished their opponents in five of the first six matches with an impressive combined scoreline of 15-3. We simply can’t imagine any other outcome at this point other than an away victory, as Hearts’ free-scoring form should once again impress and knock St Mirren out of the cup, worsening their already troubled form at home.
