Celtic vs Hearts Predictions

• Hearts have not lost by more than a single goal since March.
• Celtic have only won two of their last seven games by two or more goals.

Hearts to keep things tight at Celtic Park

Hearts stunned Celtic with a 3-1 win at Tynecastle Park in October, but their early season form has taken a hit, and they head to Glasgow knowing that defeat would see them relinquish their shock lead in the Scottish Premiership.

The Bhoys, like Old Firm rivals Rangers, have endured a much more difficult season than they are accustomed to, but a five-game winning streak has put them back into contention at the top of the table.

However, only two of those wins were by more than a single goal, and they face a Hearts side that have only lost once this season.

That sole defeat was a 1-0 affair in Aberdeen, and they haven’t lost by more than a single goal since March. With Celtic not at their best and Hearts holding the joint-best defensive record in the division away from home, backing them in the +2 handicap market appeals.

The Jambos have drawn three of their last four games, though, and two of these ended 1-1, so that looks a solid choice in the correct score market.
