Celtic will look to overtake Hearts in top position when they face each other at Celtic Park. Given Celtic’s four-game winning run at home, our predictions points toward a 3-1 home win. The Hoops have been impressive at home this season, losing only two points in total. As Celtic have been scoring 2.80 goals per game at home, Home Team Over 1.5 goals seems like value bet. Marcelo Saracchi could miss out with injury, but the Uruguay defender is not regarded as the first-team regular.
The Jambos, on the other hand, are surprising leaders after 16 rounds. Hearts are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Glasgow, but it has to be noted that they failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock at the weekend. With an expected goals tally of 1.67 on the road, Hearts supporters have genuine reason to feel optimistic ahead of the Premier League derby. All Ageu, Baningime, Nieuwenhof, and Pollock miss out with injuries for the away team.
As 72% of their last 46 meetings have featured 3 or more goals, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting pick for the Premiership derby, with additional value on Home Win (80%) and Over 3.5 goals (50%).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 7 December 2025 at 15:00.
