Celtic vs Hearts Prediction & Betting Tips (4 May)

Hearts have found the going tough on their travels recently, with each of their previous five top-flight fixtures ending in defeat by a single-goal margin. Celtic’s star has been shining somewhat more brightly on their own patch of late, however, as they have enjoyed five victories in seven home matches, including a success win during their past 5 games.

Over the course of their previous 20 games in the Premiership, Celtic have been involved in no fewer than 17 encounters in which over 2.5 goals have been netted. This is the sort of consistency that Hearts can relate to, as 16 of the Hearts last 20 matches at this level have also delivered two goals or more, so a repeat performance is expected in this clash.

Since Slaven Bilic picked up the managerial reins, entertainment levels at The Hawthorns have gone through the roof, with all nine of Celtic's Premiership home games this season producing goals at both ends. Given that five consecutive Hearts away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, a repeat performance is expected here.
