Celtic was the last team to beat Hearts at home, in the 3 – 1 win back May and the hosts will be hoping to build up on their recent good home run with a win here, having won each of the last four. It is will be a daunting task though, as in the last 23 matches, Hearts have beaten Celtic just once, a 4 – 0 whacking in December 2017. Hearts head to this game on five straight wins and having lost just once and won nine of their last 10. At home, they have four straight wins and a loss, scoring 16 goals and conceding five. They have scored in 12 of their last 15 matches and also in each of their last 12 at home. With just two home losses in 15 matches, and having scored 10 goals in their last two home matches, Hearts will want to believe they have what it takes to sink the giants. However, Celtic come with a nine – match unbeaten streak and a run of four wins and a draw in their last five matches, which has also seen them score 14 goals and concede just once. In fact, they have managed four straight clean sheets away from home. In their last five matches, Celtic have picked three wins and two draws and they have lost just two of their last 15 matches. In the Premier League, they have been dominant, with just three losses in their last 21 matches and have eight clean sheets in the last 15 matches. Celtic have six clean sheets in their last 10 away matches and have claimed a huge chunk of goals in the two sides’ last 11 meetings, 10 of which have produced over 2.5 goals.
