Hamilton vs Hearts prediction 15.07.2025 | Scottish League Cup

• Competition: Scottish League Cup
• Date: 15th July 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Broadwood

Hamilton and Hearts face off on Tuesday evening in the Westfield area of Cumbernauld, both sides looking to maintain their strong start to the Scottish League Cup group stage.

The hosts will play in the third tier this season after finishing bottom of the Championship standings in the 2024–25 campaign. While aiming for immediate promotion, John Rankin’s team must build momentum in the League Cup, something they achieved in their opening Group E game when they beat Stirling Albion last weekend with two second-half goals from Smith and Kyle, while also keeping a clean sheet for the first time in three matches.

They now host a Hearts side who also emerged victorious in their opening Group E game. The Jam Tarts beat Dunfermline Athletic 4:1, extending their winning streak to six matches. However, despite this impressive run of form, head coach Derek McInnes will be concerned that his side have lost two of their last three visits to Broadwood Stadium.

Hamilton vs Hearts Betting Tips: Hearts to win

Hamilton have struggled to secure wins or even draws over the last couple of months. The hosts lost two of their last four matches and three of their last four games at this ground.

Hearts may not have kept a clean sheet in their last two games but McInnes' men always find a way to score more goals than their opponents. The Jam Tarts scored at least two goals in five of their last six matches, so beating Hamilton shouldn’t be too difficult.
