Kelty Hearts welcome Edinburgh City to New Central Park as they look to continue their 100% league home record.
It’s three home wins from three for Kelty Hearts as we prepare for the visit of free-scoring Edinburgh City. The Maroon Machine has a contrasting away form however which culminated with a 4-1 defeat to Clyde last week.
Edinburgh City were involved in the SPFL’s first ten goal game since 2018 when they defeated Stirling Albion 7-3 at Meadowbank last weekend. Hat-tricks from Innes Lawson and Keir Foster and one from Jason Jarvis saw the Citizens win after leading 5-0 at half time.
Michael McIndoe’s side currently sit eighth in the table despite beginning with a five point deduction. If it weren’t for their deduction, they would be sat fifth just outside fourth on goal difference.
The last time the sides met was in the 2024/25 League One season. Kelty Hearts won all four meetings including 3-1 and 3-2 wins at New Central Park and 3-0 and 4-1 away wins.
This is the first of three consecutive home matches for Kelty Hearts, with two KDM Evolution Trophy matches against Hearts B and Montrose following the Edinburgh clash.
A win for Kelty Hearts could lift Kelty Hearts into the top four depending on other results, while Edinburgh City will be keen to continue their ascend up the table.
