A 2-0 victory last weekend for Celtic against Saturday’s opponents saw them not even face so much as a shot on target. They will look to better their own performance this weekend, and breeze past Kilmarnock to reach the final.

Celtic vs Kilmarnock Predictions

Tip Reasoning

  • Kilmarnock have conceded first in 62% of their games this season, and have been behind at half time in 52%
  • Celtic average only 0.82 goals conceded per game, well below the league average of 1.45
  • Celtic have scored 31 first half goals and 34 second half goals this season in 21 games this season

Celtic head and shoulders above

Celtic have been by far the best team in Scotland this season, having only lost one and drawn one of 21 games all season. They defeated Saturday’s opponents 2-0 last weekend without facing so much as a shot on target.

This domination should see them walk to an easy win in Saturday’s semi-final clash, with a prediction of a resounding 3-0 win very much on the cards.

Goalscoring efficiency

The Bhoys have scored 31 first half goals and 34 second half goals this season, with an almost equal spread throughout the game displaying that this side simply do not have dull periods in their game.

Celtic to win both halves looks like the best bet, as they will go out there to blow their opponents away en route to the final.

Killie’s relegation worries

Kilmarnock will very much be looking over their shoulders this season, as they currently sit just two places outside of the relegation zone, with only one point separating themselves from fellow strugglers Dundee United. The League Cup won’t be their priority right now, and a loss on Saturday would allow them to focus on survival.
