It’s a crucial day in the SPFL Premiership title race as Celtic aims to overtake Heart of Midlothian with a victory at Parkhead.

The Hoops were eight points behind the leaders when Martin O’Neill stepped in as interim manager following Brendan Rodgers’ unexpected exit.

Now, with Wilfried Nancy set for his managerial debut at Celtic Park, only goal difference separates them from the Jambos, who have also played one more match than the champions.

The scene is set for an epic battle today as the former Columbus Crew manager faces a challenging start.

Celtic vs Heart of Midlothian top betting tips

Hearts enter this match in poor form, having won just once in their last six games, losing a substantial lead.

However, they’ve only lost once in the Premiership all season, a 1-0 defeat at Aberdeen where they arguably performed better, making the Jambos a viable option for a double chance bet at 11/8 with Betfred.

Celtic has yet to reach last season’s performance levels and achieved a narrow 1-0 victory over Dundee in midweek.

Daizen Maeda scored the winner in that match and appears more comfortable since being moved from right wing to striker.

The Japanese forward is priced at 8/5 with William Hill to score anytime, a generous offer given his scoring streak in the last two games.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs West Ham United

West Ham United remains in the Premier League‘s relegation zone and faces a tough task traveling south to Brighton today.

The Hammers earned a hard-fought point at Old Trafford on Thursday and have become tougher to beat since Nuno Espirito Santo took charge.

They now face a Seagulls team that was unbeaten at home all season until losing a thrilling match to Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Brighton’s last five home games have featured over ten corners, making it a market to consider. Skybet offers 31/20 for over 10.5 corners, while West Ham could be a good bet at +3 in the handicap at 19/20 with William Hill.

Brajan Gruda has impressed for Brighton recently, and the midfielder is 8/5 with BetMGM to score or assist today.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

Fulham’s comeback fell short against Manchester City on Wednesday, making today’s London derby with Crystal Palace a test of their resilience.

Trailing 5-1 to Manchester City, Craven Cottage was lively as Marco Silva’s side netted three goals, just missing an equalizer at the end due to a goal-line clearance.

Fulham’s attack penetrated Pep Guardiola’s defense, but they now face a Palace team with three clean sheets in their last four Premier League games.

Another high-scoring game is unlikely, and betting against BTTS at evens with BOYLE Sports seems wise, given it has occurred in four of their last five meetings.
