Hearts vs Celtic Prediction & Betting tips
Once again, the Celtic Football Club has the chance to make history in a Scottish Cup final. Previous season succeeded the Green-Whites as the first team in Scotland the “Double Treble” – so twice in a row, all three national titles retract (championship, FA Cup, League Cup). On Saturday at the National Stadium Hampden Park against Heart of Midlothian the chance for the historic “Triple Treble”. The series champion is definitely a favorite in the final. This shows the odds of bookmakers between Heart of Midlothian and Celtic Glasgow. Overall, it is the 134th edition of the Scottish FA Cup final. Only the equivalent from England is two years older than the Scottish Cup. Since 1873, 71 titles went to the two Old Firm clubs Celtic (38 Cup successes, record champion) and the Rangers (33). For Celtic it will be the 58th Cup final on Saturday.
The Hearts from the capital Edinburgh has won the cup eight times (last in 2012). In addition to the Old Firm teams only Queen’s Park (ten) looks back on more trophies than the Hearts. Overall, the club reached from Gorgie this season for the 15th time the Cup final. Three of these finals have been held between the Heart of Midlothian and Celtic Glasgow in the past, which we predict are just outsiders for a tip – in 1901, 1907 and 1956, when the Hearts defeated the Bhoys 3-1. Last weekend, both clubs met in Celtic Park at the so-called “Trophy Parade”. However, the coaches sparred their regulars for the comparison this weekend and gave the youth a 2-1 victory over champions Celtic.
Hearts:
With a cup victory on Saturday, the Hearts could make a miserable season even more excellent. First, it would be the first title for the capital club since the FA Cup Triumph 2012. In addition, a cup success would entitle to participate in the Europa League qualification. Europeans were represented (Quali) the last time in 2016. But the last weeks do not suggest a positive outcome in Hampden Park. The Premiership ended the Hearts with six defeats from the recent seven games (one draw). Overall, since the beginning of February, only two wins in 14 league matches (2-3-9). Accordingly, the Heart of Midlothian against Celtic Glasgow, according to odds of bookmakers on Sunday, not the first contender for a cup triumph. Alarming numbers – especially as the Hearts were leaders in this season until the twelfth matchday.
But the then 0-5 defeat at Celtic was the beginning of the end. Of the 15 Premiership victories, eight resulted from the first eleven games. The Hearts have all won the last three FA Cup finals: 2002 Hibs, 2006 Gretna and 1998 Rangers. But this series seems to break on Saturday. Especially as Craig Levein was able to win only three of his most recent 25 mandatory games against Celtic in his two official days as Hearts coach. We recommend Heart of Midlothian Vs. Celtic Glasgow a tip on “victory Celtic & over 2.5 goals.” This is also due to the absence of long-term injured Steven Naismith. The 32-year-old collected an average of 2.1 points in 19 games (12-3-4). Without Naismith, the point cut fell to 0.6 (3-3-13). Peter Haring, Uche Ikpeazu and Arnaud Djoum are out.
Celtic Glasgow:
The Old Firm derby two weeks ago was lost to the Rangers 0-2. It was Celtic to see that there was nothing sporty left and the competitive season had already begun on 10 July with the first round of the Champions League qualification. While the blue arch rival celebrated a complete titleless year after the derby victory, like a World Cup, the Bhoys have a great opportunity this weekend to clinch the ninth national trophy in a row. After the turmoil in February, when former coach Brendan Rodgers left the club overnight to Leicester City and an extremely weak season measured over the past two seasons, Celtic would have underpinned once again who is the absolute number one in the country. The championship was retracted prematurely despite two derby failures at the end. For Celtic Glasgow this was already the eighth consecutive championship trophy. The lead in the table on the arch rival was nine points in the end. This makes the Bhoys in the Cup final between the Hearts and Celtic loud odds favorite. In summer, however, the reset button is pressed.
Changes are necessary. Celtic needs new personnel in almost every part of the team – especially in central defense and in the storm. Whether the current coach Neil Lennon may initiate this change, seems uncertain. Celtic is currently seeking a bigger solution. Names like Jose Mourinho, Rafa Benitez or Andre Villa-Boas are buzzing around the Celtic Park. If the club were not on the lookout, Lennon would have gotten the job long ago, who could once win the first three of the current eight titles in a row with Celtic. In the FA Cup Lennon as Celtic coach has a balanced balance. In 2011 and 2013 he won the title respectively. In 2010 and 2012, the semi-final was over. If Lennon did not get the job, he would not have anything to denounce. He took Celtic in a difficult time when the club approached him and asked if he would exercise the office until the end of the season. The Rangers defeat was the only one in his 13 competitive games (9-3-1). In addition, it was the first defeat for Celtic national in the calendar year 2019.
