Bus info here!
Ainslie Park, Pilton Drive, Edinburgh, EH5 2HF
Admission: Adults £5, Concessions £2, Under 12's free.

Hearts B team currently occupy 5th place in the league having bagged 51 points from 27 matches played whereas Rovers sit 9th in the table with 41 points from 25 matches. A win could see Rovers climb as high as 7th in the table and a loss could see us slip a place.

Rovers are unbeaten in their last 9 matches and the wee Jambos recent record is nowhere near as good. Hearts B won 2-1 at Cliftonhill in what was Rovers first ever LL match back in early August.

My prediction is a 1-0 away win.

We had the chances in August for a better result, hoping for a good one on friday

I was quite impressed with Hearts B when I saw them earlier in the season. Think a few of that team are hovering around the 1st team.

I don't think we will get beaten but I go for a 2-2 draw.

[arfcdm]

2-2 as well

Hearts B 0, Albion Rovers 2. I was also very impressed by them in the first match, but hopefully we will get there, given the obvious confidence in the team on a good run.

May be renamed Doubting Thomas as I feel that this may be a Coatbridge too far against a really slick full time outfit. They will use the surface well - we need to replicate our Edinburgh city Friday night form in recent times gone by - we should show the lads the highlights. Hearts B 2 Albion Rovers 1 is not what I wish for but will eat humble pie if we pull off a result.

First loss in 5 games, We can’t beat these B teams in this league, we need to beat teams like this.

Very poor officiating tonight . Thought we at least deserved a point

Hearts definitely created a couple better chances than us, on another day we could have got a draw.

I hate the constant bombardment of the officials at times but those clowns last night were well out their depth. Beyond a joke how bad they were.

Decent highlights from a vlogger. TBF the abandoned penalty doesn't look like it should have been given in the first place. In my opinion the strongest claim for a penalty (including the 3 awarded) is just after 17 mins into the coverage when the ball clearly comes off the arm of the Hearts captain but nothing is given.

We definitely shouldn't have come away pointless. Good analysis from Sandy after the game too.

First defeat in ten league matches. Hopefully back on it v Parkheid reserves next week.
