Celtic vs Heart Of Midlothian FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Kennedy Kechula | in Football Predictions
Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic will on Wednesday host European football hopefuls Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park in a rescheduled league match. Celtic lead the standings with 76 points after 27 matches played while Hearts are third with 45 points. Ange Postecoglou’s men look set to win a second successive title as they have a healthy nine-point lead at the top. They beat struggling St. Mirren 5-1 away from home last time out to extend their winning streak to 11 matches. This coupled with their six-match winning streak against Hearts suggest that a home win is the only way to go here. Four of Celtic’s last five matches have witnessed over 3.5 goals and testing this market here is also not an unrealistic risk to take. Five different players were on the score sheet for Celtic against St. Mirren and this explains how they have been rampant against their opponents. League top scorer Kyogo Furuhashi, scorer of 19 goals, was not amongst the scorers over the weekend but should lead the line again against Hearts.
Hearts have been blowing hot and cold recently which has allowed the teams below them to catch up. They have a five-point gap on fourth place but are all but sure of a place in the top six which will enable them to continue fighting for a place in the Europa or Conference League for next season. Robbie Neilson’s men beat St. Johnstone 3-0 over the weekend to get back to winning ways after losing 2-0 on the road to lowly Motherwell. This highlights clearly their inconsistent nature this season, as one week they can get you five goals without reply but in another, they can soak in three. Lawrence Shankland has netted 17 goals this season in the league and is placed second in the top scorers race behind Furuhashi. The two will go at it against each other on Wednesday which should have this as a high-scoring affair.
