Week 4 brings us a match on May 11th where Motherwell will host Hearts at Fir Park in a clash of these two evenly matched Premiership teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 5th placed Motherwell is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Ross County.

Motherwell looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Hearts recorded a 1-4 loss against Celtic. Ellis Simms struck first for Hearts in the 3rd minute on a feed from Liam Boyce, then Daizen Maeda tied it up for Celtic in the 30th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 37th minute on a goal by Kyogo Furuhashi. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Hearts should be reasonably happy with their performance.
