Celtic’s recent 2-1 win over Falkirk and Heart Of Midlothian’s unbeaten run, including a 2-1 victory against St Johnstone, set the stage for a one-sided encounter. The model rates a Celtic home win as the clear favourite, assigning an 81.2% chance, a 14% draw probability and a 4% chance for Hearts. This preference reflects Celtic’s dominant home form, averaging 2.17 goals scored and only 0.33 conceded against weaker opposition, while Hearts struggle away, conceding 2.33 goals and scoring just 0.33 against stronger teams. The expected total goals hover at 3.0, with the most likely total being 2 goals at a 23% probability. The single most likely scoreline is 2-0, carrying a 16.2% chance. Suggested picks include the home win (81.2%), Under 5.5 cards (80.9%), Over 1.5 goals (80.0%), Under 25.5 fouls (74.7%), and Over 19.5 fouls (72.5%), while Over 8.5 corners (79.4%) and Over 2.5 cards (73.8%) are expected to miss.

🔥 12. Top picks for this game
Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ordered by probability. Use Min odds to match the prices you want: slide down for near-certainties at short prices, up for longer prices. Unpriced picks are ranked on the model's fair odds. Edge defaults to Yes, showing only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them; switch to All to include the rest, and picks we hold no price for. The five columns are the best market prices (highest first) for each pick; edge is vs the average. Result grades each pick against the final score.
