Best Tip: Celtic to win

Claiming a victory away from home the Premiership is always cause for celebration, and we're predicting that Brendan Rodgers and his Celtic charges will do exactly that at Tynecastle Park on Saturday evening. The statistics below, including long-running head-to-head (H2H) records, show they're more than capable of delivering, and the bookmakers think so too. The best available price is 1.30 on Celtic to win. We think it's well worth backing.

Goal Statistics

With a PG of just 0.8, Heart of Midlothian look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Celtic haven't conceded a goal in 3 consecutive Premiership matches, and it could be a long evening for S. Naismith's men.

Celtic's forwards have been in fine form of late, finding the net twice or more in 20 consecutive Premiership outings. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Saturday evening.
