Ante Postecoglou Celtic — Celtic can do a job for Ante Postecoglou today

"Since 2017 Hearts have lost on 6/6 trips to Celtic Park – and all six games have produced Over 2.5 Goals in total"

Tobias Gourlay's headed north of the border for a game he hopes will finish north of Over 2.5 Goals

Celtic v Hearts
Thursday 19:45 (Live on Sky Sports Main Event)

In Italy last night, Bologna beat Jose Mourinho's only 1-0 to leave us well shy of our goals target.

We've escaped to Scotland today for the Premiership game between second-placed Celtic and third-placed Hearts. We fancy the favourites to win but there should be a few goals along the way.

Since 2017 Hearts have lost on 6/6 trips to Celtic Park - and all six games have produced Over 2.5 Goals in total. More recently, Robbie Neilson's men have lost their last two on the road. However, they have scored themselves on 6/7 away days this season and can help make today's game another high scorer.

Ante Postecoglou's Celtic have conceded in 6/9 league games home and away. At Celtic Park, they are W5-D2-L0, scoring at least twice in all five successes. We're backing today's game to be the seventh straight meeting that delivers both a Celtic home win and at least three match goals.
