FootyMAD's Partick Thistle match preview

History of the Heart Of Midlothian v Partick Thistle fixture

Hearts prepare to entertain Partick Thistle at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jambo's are clearly on top, winning 56.84% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was just last season, in December 2002, the Jambo's carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Jambo's's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Partick Th.. Home Win
