Celtic vs Hearts Predictions

• Hearts are unbeaten against Celtic this season (W2, D1)
• Hearts have just five defeats in 37 Premiership games

All eyes on Parkhead for Premiership finale

The final round of Premiership games take place this weekend and the title will be decided in Glasgow on Saturday as leaders Hearts take on Celtic.

Hearts hold a one-point advantage over the Bhoys so only a win will do for the hosts, while the Jambos know they will be champions for the first time since 1960 if they avoid defeat.

Celtic’s hopes appeared to be fading at Motherwell on Wednesday but a last-gasp penalty from Kelechi Iheanacho secured a 3-2 win, giving Saturday’s game between these two sides a cup final feel.

Celtic are serial Premiership winners with a joint record 55 titles, including each of the last four, and they have home advantage. However, Hearts have an excellent record against the Hoops this season and they look like they have enough left in the tank for one final push as they bid to end an incredible campaign with the big prize.

Hearts have taken seven points from Celtic this season in three games so far and look worth backing in the double chance market. The hosts have an exceptional record at Celtic Park but have shown signs of vulnerability, with two defeats and a draw in their last eight home games.

A 1-1 draw is the correct score pick as the Hearts defence has coped fairly well with Celtic’s frontline this season, conceding four goals across the three previous meetings. The Edinburgh outfit have enough confidence to try and hit Celtic on the beak if the game is level late on but would settle for a draw, and as the last meeting finished level a stalemate seems more likely than an away win.

Claudio Braga has been a bit of a thorn in Celtic’s side this season as he has scored in the last two head-to-head clashes. Hearts’ Portuguese forward looks a contender for an anytime effort on Saturday.
