Aberdeen vs Celtic Predictions

• Celtic have won four of their last five meetings with Aberdeen, scoring 18 goals in the process.
• Aberdeen have lost their last five league matches.
• Celtic beat Aberdeen 5-1 in their final two league meetings last season.

Bhoys to get the ball rolling

Aberdeen ended last season with a triumphant Scottish FA Cup final victory over Celtic, but their first meeting of the new season looks unlikely to go the same way after they lost to Hearts in their opener.

The Dons were unfortunate in that curtain-raiser, but they have lost four of their last five meetings with Celtic, conceding 18 goals and scoring just three in response.

The defending champions were made to wait until the 87th minute to secure a tight 1-0 win over St Mirren in their opener, but they dominated that match and will be hoping to stamp their authority on the league with a more comfortable win on Sunday.

Aberdeen have lost their last five league games, and three of these have been by two or more goals. They have lost by two or more in three of their last five meetings with Celtic, so backing the visitors to cover the handicap appeals.

For correct score punters, the last two Premiership head-to-head encounters ended in a 5-1 win for Celtic, so that looks a good choice for a small punt.
