Celtic arrive with strong home momentum, boasting a flawless recent run and a slight edge in attack versus Heart Of Midlothian's defense. The visitors show resilience but face a compact Celtic block at Celtic Park. Expect a balanced tempo with moderate goal potential, as both sides have shown solid defensive discipline.

• Celtic's home edge favors control and pressing
• Heart's defense tested by Celtic's offensive sharpness
• Recent form suggests a competitive but not high-scoring clash

Under 3.5 goals looks a sensible expectation given the tactical setup and recent encounters, where tight scorelines prevailed.
