The Hoops come into this one following a victory over Motherwell, while visitors Ross County make the trip to Glasgow off the back of a win against Hibernian at Easter Road.

In a match with consequences at both ends of the table, we expect an entertaining encounter that will see both sides look to get on the front foot and create chances.

The Jambos come into this one following a defeat to Rangers in midweek, while Livingston travel to Edinburgh on the back of two consecutive victories.

In a game between two evenly-matched opponents, we expect a tight affair that will go right to the wire.

On this occasion, Hearts will secure the victory in front of their home supporters and move above their opponents in the Scottish Premiership.

Kilmarnock vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Kilmarnock will attempt to get back to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Hibernian to Rugby Park this Saturday.

The hosts come into this one following a bruising defeat at Dundee United, while Hibernian travel to Ayrshire seeking some redemption of their own off the back of a defeat to Ross County.

We say: Kilmarnock 1-1 Hibernian

In a match with significant permutations in the league standings, we expect both teams to give a good account of themselves as they search for some momentum.

Despite this, there will be no separating the teams on the day and both Kilmarnock and Hibernian will have to make do with a point apiece.

St Johnstone vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In the final Scottish Premiership match before the World Cup commences Motherwell will make the journey to McDiarmid Park as they face St Johnstone.

The visitors sit just four points above the relegation zone at the moment, while the hosts head into this game after four games in a row without a defeat.

We say: St Johnstone 2-0 Motherwell

Both teams will be wanting to pick up three points in this game due to how long the break is before they will be playing again after the World Cup.

While the visitors have showcased more confidence when they are away from home, St Johnstone have been far more consistent lately and should be able to secure another win here.

Aberdeen vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Two teams at opposite ends of the Scottish Premiership will meet on Saturday when third-placed Aberdeen welcomes Dundee United to the Pittodrie Stadium.

The visitors find themselves in the relegation zone right now, and will be desperate to get themselves out of that section before the upcoming break as the World Cup commences.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 Dundee United

Dundee United might be coming into this game on the back of a 4-0 victory that will have provided plenty of confidence to the team, but this will be a tough test.

Aberdeen have proven themselves to be one of the strongest units in the league to this point, and they should have enough for another win on Saturday.
