Hearts prepare to entertain Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Jambo's winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Heart Of Midlothian have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. The Jambo's have scored 10 and conceded 3 during this period.
Inverness CT's away form is equally impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.
Hearts's 7 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Inverness CT are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 4 matches.
