Celtic FC are set to host Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park on matchday 31 in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic leads at the top with a 13-point cushion in the league standings, while Hearts are sixth. Let's head into the match prediction.
The international break couldn't have come at a better time for Celtic FC who were behind a disappointing result in their last league match. The hosts were victims of a 3-2 home defeat against the Rangers FC on matchday 30.
That result marked their third consecutive Old Firm derby in which they conceded three goals. It's also worth mentioning that this was their second consecutive defeat this season against bitter rivals Rangers FC for the first time in four years.
Despite that defeat, the Bhoys still maintain an insurmountable 13-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings with three games remaining.
Heart of Midlothian, on the other hand, went into the international break with a big grin on their faces. They won two consecutive matches across all competitions including a 3-1 home triumph over Dundee FC in the Scottish Cup.
In their last league match, they had no trouble seeing off the threat of Ross County in a comfortable 2-0 home victory.
That result marked their third win in the last four league games. In unfamiliar territory, Hearts have lost just one of their last six matches (W3, D2).

Our Celtic vs Heart Of Midlothian FC Prediction
Celtic may have nothing to play for but they do want to end the season on a high. Last time out, they lost to Rangers and will want to avenge that defeat in this match. They will be without their first choice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel who is nursing a shoulder injury.
Hearts have scored in each of their last seven matches in the league. However, that won’t be enough to see them escape defeat here, having lost two consecutive away matches in this fixture. Our Celtic FC v Heart of Midlothian prediction: Celtic FC to score in both halves.
