Celtic vs Heart OF Midlothian Prediction (18.10.2026)

The Celtic team currently tops the Scottish championship standings, having recorded seven wins in their eight matches so far. However, the team continues to be quite unconvincing in the Europa League, where they have played two matches to date. First, they lost to Ferencvaros, and then just a few days ago, they suffered a heavy defeat to Benfica. Celtic mainly wins their league matches, but they don't seem to be the team that dominates with a significant margin over their opponents.

Now Celtic will host the third-placed team, Hearts, which has more wins than losses in the championship so far, but there have definitely been some missteps. Especially when it comes to away games. So far, Hearts has played four league visits, with only one victory. However, in each of these matches, they have managed to score at least once.

I believe this will not be an easy clash for Celtic. Rather, I expect to see goals at both ends, as this has happened in each of the last four league meetings between the two teams. Over 2.5 goals also seems like a good option, considering that it is often observed when the two teams meet.
