Celtic vs Aberdeen Predictions

• Celtic have won the last eight meetings between these two teams
• Both teams have scored in six of the Bhoys’ last nine games
• Four of the last six head-to-heads have gone over 3.5 goals

Celtic to bounce back from hammering

Celtic were beaten 6-0 by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday after being reduced to ten men in the first half. Their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership has also been cut to five points recently after their draw with Hibs.

However the Bhoys have won ten of their 12 league games and should be able to extend that tally against an Aberdeen side that sat seventh in the table before this weekend’s matches.

Brendan Rodgers’ men have a rock solid record against these opponents, winning the last eight head-to-heads, and they still look head and shoulders above teams of this quality.

Midweek exertions may take it out of Dons

Aberdeen have had a strong ten days, beating Hibs to reaching the Scottish League Cup final before picking up a 2-2 draw away to PAOK on Thursday.

However there would have to be a worry that the Dons may have left their game in Greece and may not be able to back up that performance.

Take both teams to score in a Celtic win in this clash and with four of the last six meetings between these two going over 3.5 goals, correct score backers should consider a 3-1 win for the hosts.
