Celtic might win but they’ll concede
Celtic have been one of the best home teams in the Premiership; they have no losses at home this season, with seven wins and two draws from nine home games. The Bhoys have no losses in their last 14 Premiership games, with 11 wins and three draws. It’s fair to point out that Celtic tend to play well against Hibernian; they have no losses in their last 13 encounters with Hibs. Even though Hibs have found it difficult to beat Celtic, they haven’t had much trouble when it comes to scoring against The Bhoys. Hibs have scored in four of their last five meetings with Celtic. Considering Hibernian have scored in all of their last five games, we believe Celtic will win, and Hibs will score
Both teams will find the net
We’ve pointed out that Hibernian have scored in all of their last five games; it’s worth mentioning that they’ve conceded a lot of goals too. Hibs have kept just two clean sheets in their last 15 games across all competitions. In the same vein, Celtic have been one of the highest scoring teams in the Premiership; only league leaders Rangers have scored more goals this season. The Bhoys have found the net in 12 of their last 13 games. Encounters between these sides have produced a lot of goals, as both teams have scored in four of their last five clashes. On that note, we’re making the prediction that both teams will score.
Backing over 2.5
With Celtic being one of highest scoring teams in the Premiership, their games tend to be on the high-scoring side; five of Celtic’s last seven games in all competitions have gone over 2.5. The same can be said about clashes between these teams; five of their last seven meetings have gone over the 2.5 goal margin. With this in mind, our final pick for this game is over 2.5 goals.
