Hearts have seen an upturn in form and, after three consecutive defeats between January and February, they are unbeaten in their last four games, recording three wins. They have won their last five home games, scoring eight goals without conceding and are strong favorites.

Jets are unbeaten in their last six league games, recording three wins while playing out three draws. Interestingly, four of their six wins in the A-League this season have been registered in their travels. Nevertheless, they have won just one of their last 12 away meetings against City, failing to score in six games in that period.
