Match Facts
Ross County have won just one of their last 22 Scottish Premiership meetings with Hearts (D11 L10), a 1-0 victory in March 2017, going winless in 12 since then (D7 L5).
Hearts are unbeaten in their last 10 Scottish Premiership visits to Ross County (W5 D5) since going down 2-1 in September 2013 under Gary Locke.
Ross County have kept two clean sheets in their last five home league matches, which is as many as they kept at the Global Energy Stadium in their previous 15 such games beforehand.
Hearts have won just one of their last 12 league matches on the road (D4 L7), though this one victory did come this season, a 2-0 win against St. Johnstone on MD1.
Hearts boss Steven Naismith won his only previous league match as a manager against Ross County 6-1, which is also the biggest win of his top-flight managerial career.
