LiontipsCeltic - Hearts: betting tip and bets for the Scottish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Celtic have long created a huge gap between themselves and their main rival, the Rangers, in the national championship, and they occasionally misfire. So, in the last four rounds, the Celts lost away to Hibernian (1:2) and lost to Rangers (2:3) at Celtic Park. Nevertheless, even if they lose in a face-to-face meeting, the margin is 13 points. Celtic have suffered only one defeat on their own field since the beginning of the season, and it is impossible not to note the impressive statistics on goals: 50 goals scored and only six goals conceded (three of them were just in the last game from the Rangers).
Disqualifications and injuries
Schmeichel will not play today due to a shoulder injury.

7.00Tip and bets
Despite the fact that Hearts is in good shape, having won three of the previous four rounds, we are not expecting a sensation today. Obviously, after a home defeat in a crucial battle with the Raiders, the home team's players will be extremely motivated to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans. Celtic have a significant advantage in class, in the previous three face-to-face matches, the Celts beat the upcoming opponent with an advantage of at least two goals, which we are waiting for this time.
Our betting tip is for Celtic to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 1.64
Bet on the total
Celtic have conceded only six goals at home in the national championship since the start of the season. It is unlikely that the guests will be able to open the enemy's defenses at least once today, even taking into account the fact that most likely the main goalkeeper will not play.
The second bet is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 1.94
The first half bet
In the previous two face-to-face matches, Hearts held back a famous opponent and a zero draw was recorded in the opening 45 minutes. We do not rule out a scenario in which all the main events on the field will unfold after the break.
Betting Tip – Hearts with a handicap (+1) in the first half with a coefficient of 1.65
