Kelty Hearts v Arbroath

Kelty Hearts vs Arbroath Preview

Kelty Hearts could only muster a point in a disappointing 0-0 draw away from home at Cove Rangers in the Scottish League One on the weekend but the hosts will now return to their New Central Park ground for this upcoming top four clash with the League One leaders, Arbroath, on Tuesday night.

Arbroath collected a third league win on the trot on Saturday in the Scottish third tier with a 2-0 win away from home at Inverness CT which in turn has maintained Arbroath's pole position at the top of the Scottish League one table ahead of this midweek fixture at the New Central Park.

Kelty Hearts had previously posted recent back-to-back wins against Dumbarton and Annan Athletic respectively but these have been The Hearts' only highlights within their previous seven matches overall in League One.

In fact, success has come in fits and starts for Kelty Hearts so far in this season's League One campaign as the hosts have registered a total of six wins so far, three at home and three away, which includes victories gained on home soil against the likes of Stenhousemuir, Annan Athletic and Dumbarton respectively.

However, Kelty Hearts have also been handed three losses at home so far this season as well, losing at home to Cove Rangers, Montrose and Alloa Athletic. Arbroath bring a strong and solid looking sequence of results in the Scottish third tier heading into this upcoming encounter at the New Central Park on Tuesday night as the visitors are unbeaten in each of their last six matches overall, picking up five wins in the process.

Recent wins at the expense of Alloa Athletic, Stenhousemuir, Cove Rangers, Queen of the South and Inverness CT have helped maintain The Red Lichties' grip on top spot in the Scottish League One table and no doubt the visitors will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the division by picking up another three-point haul here on Tuesday night.

Having produced a disappointing start to this League One campaign, failing to win any of their opening six games of the season, Arbroath have lost just once in their previous 10 league matches which includes collecting no fewer than eight wins within this period.

Arbroath have also won three out of their last four away games in the Scottish third tier and this should give the visitors plenty of confidence that they can get the job done against a Kelty Hearts side who have experienced the odd wobble or two in recent weeks.

Kelty Hearts v Arbroath Verdict

Arbroath therefore look the more likely to find a way to collect all three points here on Tuesday night as the visitors look to pull away at the top of the division.

Therefore, our main bet will be Arbroath win @ 2.25
