Celtic vs Hearts Prediction & Betting Tips

Celtic vs Hearts Match Preview

Celtic return to Parkhead in commanding form, having stitched together a run defined by control, clean sheets and confident game management. Hearts arrive with a more mixed profile, competitive in phases but struggling to impose themselves against the league’s strongest sides. With Celtic showing clear authority across their recent fixtures, this meeting shapes up as another test of consistency for the visitors.

Celtic maintain defensive certainty and attacking rhythm

Their last five matches emphasise a team increasingly comfortable dictating play. The 1-0 win over Dundee FC continued a stretch of narrow but controlled victories, following the 1-2 away success at Hibernian and the 0-1 win at St Mirren.

Earlier, back to back four goal wins over Kilmarnock and Falkirk highlighted Celtic’s ability to accelerate rapidly when matches open up. What stands out most is their defensive reliability, with four clean sheets in the last five.

The balance between patient build up and precise finishing gives Celtic a strong foundation going into this contest.

Hearts seek greater punch after a subdued run

Hearts travel with a less convincing run of results. The 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock and the 0-0 at Motherwell showed organisation but little cutting edge. The narrow 1-0 defeat at Aberdeen exposed their struggles in tight games, while the 1-1 draw with Dundee United suggested a side still searching for fluency in the final third.

The 4-0 win over Dundee FC at the start of November demonstrated their potential, yet that performance has not been replicated since. Hearts can be compact and disciplined, but their lack of sustained attacking threat remains a clear concern when facing high level opposition.

Celtic vs Hearts Prediction

The best bet for this fixture is Celtic to win to nil at 2.80 odds. With Celtic recording a series of clean sheets and Hearts showing limited penetration in recent matches, the pattern points toward another match where the hosts control territory and prevent clear chances.

A correct score prediction of Celtic two nil at 8.00 odds fits naturally with recent trends. Celtic have managed games with maturity, building leads without overextending, while Hearts have kept matches relatively tight even in defeat. A composed and measured Celtic victory aligns with both teams’ current form profiles.
