Motherwell v Hearts: betting preview, TV channel, team news, key stat and tip

TV: BT Sport 2, 12.15pm Sunday

Ladbrokes Premiership

Motherwell are going for five wins in a row but they have been written off as 21-10 outsiders and those odds appear to be generous.

The Lanarkshire side have defeated Hibernian, Dundee, Livingston and St Mirren in their last four games and while Hearts are decent enough, it's hard to see why they have been installed as such strong favourites.

Well have delved into their youth set-up to help them on their fine run and Jake Hastie has starred with four goals in his last five games.

Hearts have Uche Ikpeazu back from injury but they are still a long way from the side who so impressed at the start of the season and Well look the value.
