LiontipsHearts vs Celtic. Prediction (odds 2.03) and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, Hearts finished third in the Premier League, behind only the most famous teams in Scotland, Celtic and Rangers. This season, the team from Edinburgh is failing miserably. After 13 games played and ten points scored, the club is in the penultimate place in the standings. In the last round, there was a game with Rangers. The fight was tight, and the hosts of the upcoming match lost only with a minimal score (0:1). If they played like that with all teams, they would clearly be higher now.
Disqualifications and injuries
Oda, Taylor and Nievenhov will be out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Hearts have lost their last two matches
- Hearts have failed to score in their last two games
Probable line-up: Gordon - Oyegoke, Kent, Rowles, Penrice - Spital, Boateng, Devlin, Forrest - Shankland, Vargas.
Current form
Last season, Celtic were the clear favourites. The team won their third championship in a row without any problems. The team does not intend to give up the title in the current competition either. After 11 rounds played, they are in first place, having collected 31 points. But the team is not alone at the top. Aberdeen has the same number of points and is inferior only in additional indicators. The visitors in the national championship have both the best defence and the best attack. They managed to score 31 times in all matches, and conceded only three.
Disqualifications and injuries
Holm will be out with a calf injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Celtic have won their last five games
- The visitors have not lost in nine games in a row
Probable line-up: Schmeichel - Taylor, Thruster, Carter-Vickers, Johnston - Engels, McGregor, Hatate - Faruhrushi, Maeda, Kuhn.

1.80Tip and bets
Celtic are playing much stronger and more productively this season. The visitors are working smartly in defense and are great in attack. On September 14, the current champions won against their upcoming opponent on their home field with a score of 2:0. After that, the game of Brendan Rodgers' charges became even more productive, so we will bet on the fact that they will manage to win the upcoming match no less confidently.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Celtic with odds of 2.01
Bet on total
Hearts have failed to score against Rangers and Heidenheim in their last two games. The upcoming opponent is even tougher, so it is unlikely that the trend of leaving the field without scoring in recent games will be broken. Moreover, in the last four head-to-head meetings, neither team has scored.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 2.03
Bet on corners
Celtic take an average of 6.7 corners, while Hearts take 4.5. These are not the smallest figures, so we will place another bet on the fact that the opponents will take quite a few corners between them.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.77
