Heart of Midlothian v Celtic : Premiership match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 25th Jan, 15:00 BST, Tynecastle Park, Edinburgh

The Premiership is the focus for both Heart of Midlothian and Celtic on Sunday afternoon, as bosses Derek McInnes and Martin O'Neill battle it out at the Tynecastle Park. For every Premiership match, KickOff delves into the stats for multiple markets. Meaningful stats, including head to head (H2H) results, are then given alongside odds.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Hearts and Celtic will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Derek McInnes or Martin O'Neill has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to about a 77% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Hearts are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 48% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.55.
