Celtic vs Hearts Prediction: Celtic to overcome in-form Hearts

Celtic Park will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Celtic and Hearts in round 31 of the Scottish Premiership. The last time these two teams met, Celtic pulled off a win at Tynecastle Park. Can Hearts get revenge? Below, I provide the analysis of this match with betting opportunities.

Celtic

Celtic played Rangers in their last league game and ended on the losing end. In a 2-3 contest, this team conceded twice before the break, and two goals from Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate levelled the scores for them. However, Hamza Igamane's strike in the 88th minute for Rangers denied this team a point at full time, securing maximum points for their opponent. Prior to that encounter, Celtic secured a three-win game run, defeating Hibernian, St Mirren and Aberdeen. This season, Celtic have 75 points accumulated from 30 matches, leaving them seated at the top of the standings.

Hearts

Hearts last league game was against Ross County, and they won. In a 2-0 contest, this team scored in each half, with goals from Elton Kabangu and Jorge Grant securing maximum points for them. In the meantime, Hearts have won four of their last four matches. In that run, this team defeated St Johnstone, St Mirren, and Dundee FC, as their lone defeat was against Hibernian. Away from home, Hearts have lost once in their last eight competitive matches. Heading into this game, Hearts have 39 points from their first 30 league matches, leaving them seated in 6th place.

Expert Betting Tips

Hearts have been impressive in the last months, and this will be their first serious test. However, the Celtic team lost to Rangers before the break and will now have to respond to their poor performance here. This will be a tough contest, as the two teams have quality players to deliver a win for them. Expect a close contest, but I will rely on goals, as both teams have been impressive in attack lately, while Celtic wins.
