Hearts 'not used to being favourites' - Olid

Hearts manager Eva Olid says being the favourites is unchartered territory for her side as they look to reach the Scottish Cup final at Spartans' expense on Sunday.

Hearts are currently best of the rest outside the big three in the SWPL table, while part-time Spartans occupy 10th place.

The Edinburgh teams meet at Hampden this weekend and Olid said: "I always say Spartans are a difficult opponent.

"We have never won comfortably against them and we’ve lost games against them. The pressure is on us and they can just come here and play, that will help them a lot.

"For that we need to be so strong mentally. Normally the favourites are the other team and suddenly we are in a situation that we start being the favourites. We are not used to that.

"The pressure is on us but we have to be ourselves. If we are ourselves we are not going to have problems."
