After winning four successive home league games against Heart of Midlothian from February 2019 to May 2022, Motherwell have since lost two of their last three against Hearts (W1).
Hearts have won both of their last two league games against Motherwell, last winning three in a row in February 2017.
Motherwell have won just one of their last seven home league games (D3 L3), including a goalless draw with Ross County on the opening day of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership – they last failed to win either of their first two home games of a top-flight campaign in 2020-21 (D1 L1).
Heart of Midlothian have won just a point from their opening two league games this season (D1 L1) and could go winless across their opening three games of a Scottish Premiership campaign for the first time since their relegation season in 2019-20 (D1 L2).
Lawrence Shankland has scored six goals in his last seven Scottish Premiership appearances against Motherwell and against no side has he scored more often in the competition (also 6 v Celtic, Ross County and St. Johnstone).
