Peterhead

vs

Kelty Hearts

Tips, Stats and Odds

Peterhead have been in mixed form over their last five fixtures, with one win, one draw and three defeats, but they are still well clear of Kelty Hearts in the League One 2025-2026 table. Blue Toon are fifth with 43 points from 35 games, while Hearts are 10th with 26 from the same amount of games.

Jordon Brown’s tactical identity has remained fixed since he took charge at Balmoor in April 2023, where a high-tempo 4-2-3-1, direct style, wide overloads and aggressive pressing have been a regular feature. Blue Toon have not won in their last two home games, with a 2-0 defeat to Inverness CT followed by a 1-1 draw with Queen of the South before the 3-1 loss at Hamilton Academical.

Tam O’Ware has a tough challenge ahead to get Kelty Hearts playing with more organisation and compactness, as well as getting them out of trouble this season. His side play with a more compact 4-1-4-1 or wider 4-3-3, but they always look to defend with numbers, play well on set pieces and hit the opposition hard on the counter.

Hearts have also been in erratic form, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five, and they head into this weekend’s game with one away win and one defeat from their last two.

The last H2H meeting was a 1-1 draw at Kelty Hearts in League One 2025/2026, but Peterhead have won three of the previous five meetings, so the Blue Toon are rightfully the favorites for the win. However, the Kelty side will have their chances against a side that scores 1.71 at home, but Kelty concede 1.71 away and the odds suggest both sides will score and there will be over 2.5 goals.
