Earlier this season it seemed that Celtic may face an actual challenge from arch-rivals Rangers for the SPL title. However, as the Hoops head into Wednesday’s home game with Hearts at Celtic Park, it is very much advantage the Scottish champions in the title race.
Neil Lennon’s side are seven points clear of their Old Firm rivals, although the Gers do have a game in-hand on the champions.
The home side has been in red hot form since a 2-1 home defeat by Rangers. In fact, the Hoops have won all five of their SPL games since the loss in late December of last year. Furthermore, they have also scored at least three goals in all five league wins.
Highly-rated young striker Odsonne Edouard has certainly enhanced his reputation this season, finding the net 20 times in 22 SPL appearances this season.
Celtic’s home form has been understandably strong of late, as the Hoops have won 13 of their last 14 league matches on home soil. The only blot on their copybook was that aforementioned defeat by Rangers.
While Celtic are in their now almost perennial position of top of the table, Hearts find themselves rooted to the bottom of the SPL. The Jambos have endured a poor campaign in the Scottish top-flight.
A 3-2 home defeat by Kilmarnock last time out in the SPL means that the visitors have now won just once in their last 13 league matches. Prior to the defeat, the team from Scottish capital had put together a four-game unbeaten run, consisting of three draws and a win.
Unsurprisingly considering their league position, Hearts recent away form has been poor. In fact, the visitors have won just once in their last 17 games on their travels in the SPL.
Forebet predicts that Celtic will stroll to another victory in a high scoring encounter to maintain their lead at the top and increase the visitors fear of relegation.
