Celtic vs Hearts Prediction: Away team will be able to find the back of the net

This round-27 match of the Scottish Premiership takes place at Celtic Park and features a matchup between Celtic and Hearts. The team that is playing at home has a significant advantage over the opposing team, which has far worse chances.

Celtic - a tight one for the home squad

Following a 1-5 victory against St. Mirren in the Premiership, Celtic will be hoping for a similar outcome in this match as they did in their last game. During that match, Celtic controlled possession for 83% of the game and had 16 shots on goal, with 8 of those shots finding their intended target. Jota in the 56th minute, Alistair Johnston in the 61st minute, Liel Abada in the 70th minute, Matt O'Riley in the 72nd minute, and Hyeon-gyu Oh in the 81st minute scored for Celtic. St. Mirren, the team they were playing against, had one shot on goal, with one of those shots hitting the target. St. Mirren got on the board thanks to a goal by Mark O'Hara in the 6th minute. Matches against Celtic are typically exciting affairs, and in recent times, a high number of goals scored has been the norm rather than the exception. Both sides have scored a combined total of 27 goals over the course of their most recent six games, which works out to an average of 4.5 goals per game, with Celtic being responsible for 23 of those goals. An examination of their previous results reveals that Celtic have not been defeated in the league by Hearts in any of their most recent five matches. In addition to this, in their last 38 home league matches, they have not been defeated.

Hearts - visiting Hearts could cover the spread

After defeating St. Johnstone by a score of 3-0 in their most recent Premiership match, Hearts will enter this game riding high on the momentum of that victory. Throughout that game, Hearts had 58% control of the ball and 12 shots on goal, with 7 of those shots hitting the target. Josh Ginnelly in the 21st and 63rd minutes and Jorge Grant in the 73rd minute scored the goals for Hearts. The 15 shots that St. Johnstone took on goal resulted in only five of them being on target. A total of six goals have been scored by the teams that Hearts has faced in its previous matches, while the club's own tally stands at eight. When we take a look at their prior results, we see that the Hearts have failed to win on the road in any of their most recent three league matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Even if Celtic are able to prevail, they will have a difficult time doing so in this encounter. The home team has been playing quite well of late, and their chances of claiming victory are looking increasingly promising. On the other hand, we anticipate that Hearts will once again be a powerful team, just like they have always been, and as a result, we anticipate that they will be able to score at least one goal in this encounter.
