Celtic vs Hearts Predictions

Celtic have a dominant home record against Hearts and regularly score 3+ goals in Glasgow. I can’t go past the Hoops here with Kyogo Furuhashi backed to score first.

Head to Head

Celtic Form

Celtic have won their last 11 matches in all competitions, seven of those coming with clean sheets.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are scoring a lot of goals in Glasgow, beating St. Mirren 5-1 and Aberdeen 4-0 in their previous two games at Celtic Park.

The Hoops ended February with another title, beating Rangers 2-1 in the League Cup final. Kyogo Furuhashi scored both goals at Hampden Park, making it 24 goals for the season.

Celtic returned to the Premiership with a 5-1 win at St. Mirren to keep their lead at the top of the table at nine points. They were 1-0 down at half time but were ruthless after the hosts were reduced to 10 men, scoring five unanswered goals.

Hearts Form

Hearts went undefeated in 10 matches before a 3-0 defeat against Rangers.

Robbie Neilson’s side bounced back, beating Dundee United 3-1 before a 2-0 victory at Hamilton Academical in the FA Cup.

Hearts were unlucky in a 2-0 defeat at Motherwell before a 3-0 win against St. Johnstone on Saturday, Josh Ginnelly scoring the opening two goals and Jorge Grant sealing it.

Verdict

Celtic v Hearts

Celtic have an impressive home record against Hearts and have scored 21 goals in their last five games in Glasgow. I am backing the Hoops in the handicap market and Kyogo Furuhashi to get back on the score sheet.
