1.52Asian Handicap: Away +1.5

Hearts are just a step away from something truly sensational in the Scottish Championship. One round before the end, the team leads by a point ahead of Celtic, and fate has it that the two teams will face each other in a direct clash for the title. The tension will certainly be immense, as the winner will take the trophy.

Both teams are on a strong run

Celtic will have the home advantage and enter the match in excellent form, having won their last seven league matches. Among these successes was the victory over Rangers, which further boosted the team's confidence. However, Hearts also seem confident enough. They have gone seven consecutive league matches without a loss, recording five wins in that period and also managing to defeat Rangers. Moreover, Hearts have not lost in their last three encounters against Celtic.

Prediction: Hearts +1.5 goals

I expect a very tense and cautious match, in which both teams will be aware of how high the price of every mistake is. Celtic seem to be slight favorites due to their home advantage and their run, but Hearts show enough stability to remain competitive until the very end. That is why I believe that even if the hosts succeed, it will be hard for them to win by more than one goal difference.

      Мачът между Celtic F.C. и Heart of Midlothian F.C. в Шампионската група изглежда с ясно предимство за домакините. Селтик разполага с по-силен състав, повече класа в атака и стабилност в ключовите моменти. Хартс обаче е отбор, който може да създаде проблеми чрез дисциплина и контраатаки. Очаква се високо темпо, натиск от Селтик и повече голови положения пред противниковата врата, като се очаква домакините да контролират играта през по-голяма част срещата.Ако Селтик бие днес става за пореден път шампион на Шотландия
