Tactical analysis
Celtic is expected to dominate possession (projected 60%+) and seek an early breakthrough, as seen in their [score withheld] and 3-1 recent home wins. Hearts will likely deploy a mid-block, looking to exploit Celtic's defensive lapses (1.4 GA avg). Expect a critical goal window between 30'-45'. If the match is level at 60', Hearts' superior defensive record (0.8 GA) makes them the more likely side to find a late winner on the break.
