Hearts welcome Dunfermline to Tynecastle this weekend having won just once in their last seven league matches.

The Jambos were desperately unlucky to leave Celtic Park empty handed, only a late penalty save denying them a share of the spoils.

The Pars travel to Gorgie boasting an identical league record to Hearts, also with just one win in seven. Jim McIntyre's men weren't in action last weekend after their match against Kilmarnock was called off due to fog.

Hearts only away win of the current campaign came in Fife back in October. Goals from Andy Webster and Rudi Skacel secured the points for Paulo Sergio's men.

The Tynecastle club's overall record against Dunfermline makes for good reading. The Jambos can boast 62 league wins to the Fifers' 21, with 25 draws between the two teams.

The Gorgie side have won seven of the last nine meetings, and have opened the scoring on seven occasions. The Pars have been better on the road this term, with ten of their 14 points coming away from East End Park.

Rudi Skacel leads the scoring charts for Hearts with four league goals, whilst Joe Cardle and former Jambo Andy Kirk are the leading marksmen for the Pars, also with four goals apiece.

Another former Hearts Player is Dunfermline skipper Austin McCann, who will miss this afternoon's game through injury.
