Celtic Preview – Can Celtic extend lead at top?
It’s becoming rather monotonous in the Scottish top flight as Celtic have won their last 5 matches overall on the trot in the Premiership and indeed, have won 16 of their last 17 matches as The Hoops once again close in on another domestic league title.
Celtic’s one hiccup was a 2-1 loss at home to fierce rivals, Rangers, but otherwise it’s been business as usual for Neil Lennon’s boys as they hold a valuable 7-point lead over 2nd placed Rangers at the top of the Premiership and it looks like another three points will be making their way to Celtic Park on Wednesday night as Celtic play host to bottom club, Hearts.
With a dominant home record of 11-0-1 37/6 under their belts and scoring goals almost for fun, it’s hard to see how Hearts will be able to cope with the firepower that Celtic have at their disposal with the likes of Edouard (20 goals) along with Christie and Forrester (10 goals apiece).
In addition, Celtic have won and over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of their 12 matches at Celtic Park to date this season.
Hearts Preview – Can Hearts stay competitive?
Hearts may be bottom of the Scottish Premiership but recent results have given the visitors a glimmer of hope in their quest to pull themselves off the bottom of the domestic top flight having previously put together an important 4-match run without defeat before their 3-2 loss at home to Kilmarnock last time out.
The visitors had picked up vital points in draws with Aberdeen, Ross County and St Johnstone along with an impressive 2-1 home win against 2nd placed Rangers which was a turn up for the books but nevertheless an excellent result for The Jambos.
However, results away from home continue to elude Hearts as they’ve failed to win any of their last 9 matches on their travels in the Scottish top flight and indeed, have managed to pick up just the one win all season on the road amidst a poor away record of 1-4-7 9/22.
The bigger picture shows that Hearts have won just 1 away from home out of their last 17 matches, so they have a mountain to climb at Celtic Park.
