Hearts vs Celtic tips and predictions

Huge challenge for Hearts

This is a match destined for several goals so this should be entertaining.

If you like going against the masses it could be up your street having a cheeky bet on the underdogs.

The hosts start the match having racked up 11 wins from their last 14 games. Depending on who you listen to, you might have heard Celtic are nailed on for this but that might just be hot air.

Hearts need to be at their absolute best and even then they face a huge challenge. If the hosts are up for it, it will be due to the confidence they gained during their recent goal spree. This home squad is playing some lovely football and things are really coming together. They have scored two or more goals in 10 of their recent 14 matches and they've been stingy in only letting in 1 goal in their last 3 games at home.

Celtic have conceded at least once in all of their last 3 matches. It might be close but no cigar for the underdogs side but they really can do this.

You'll know who has the advantage from their previous meetings. Hearts have won 1 of the last 3 fixtures between the two teams. This looks like a good time for them to add to the head-to-head. This would be a great result against the odds.

The hosts have made moves to close the gap between them and their rivals. It would be disingenuous to suggest Celtic are not likely to win but the hosts have been impressive on their day.

The sportsbooks believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the massive favouritism for Celtic. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting here.
