Celtic vs Hearts Predictions

Celtic can maintain their perfect start to the season with another comfortable win on Saturday.

I'm backing the Hoops to win, with a minimum of three goals expected at Parkhead.

Celtic won 11 of their last 12 home matches (Premiership)
Celtic have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 8 home victories
Celtic scored 3+ goals in 10 of their last 13 matches (Premiership)
Celtic won 11 of their last 13 matches against Hearts
Hearts lost their last 6 matches
Hearts lost 5 of their last 8 away matches (Premiership)
Hearts have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 7 away defeats

Head to Head

Celtic and Hearts have faced each other 49 times since 2012. Celtic won 40 of those matches, including a 3-0 win in their most recent encounter at Parkhead. Hearts claimed victory on just four occasions over the past 12 years.

Celtic Form

Celtic maintained their 100% winning record with a comfortable 3-0 win against rivals Rangers in their last outing a fortnight ago. Goals from Daizen Maeda, Kyogo and Callum McGregor secured a commanding derby victory for the Hoops.

The Scottish champions have been in superb form domestically, scoring 12 wins and one draw from their last 13 Premiership matches played since March.

The Hoops remain near-invincible in domestic matches at Parkhead. Brendan Rodgers's side are unbeaten in 64 of their last 65 home Premiership fixtures.

Celtic Team News

Brendan Rodgers has a fully fit squad available ahead of Celtic's return to Premiership action this weekend. The Hoops are likely to remain unchanged after their Old Firm victory a fortnight ago.

Hearts Form

Hearts make the trip to Parkhead aiming to score their first victory of the new season. The Jambos have endured a miserable start to the campaign, with defeat suffered in each of their last six games across all competitions.

Steven Naismith's out-of-form side have struggled to find their shooting boots this season, with only two goals scored in seven games since August.

Away from Edinburgh, Hearts have slipped to defeat in six of their last eight matches, conceding 16 goals in the process.

Hearts Team News

Under-pressure boss Naismith has just a couple of expected absentees this weekend. Calem Nieuwenhof and Beni Baningime both remain sidelined for the Jambos.

Despite failing to score this season, Scottish international Lawrence Shankland will spearhead the visitor's attack.

Verdict

Celtic v Hearts

Celtic can claim yet another home win against their out-of-form visitors.

A home win with at least three goals scored should prove a solid choice in Glasgow.
