Motherwell vs Celtic Predictions

• There have been 3+ goals in six of Motherwell’s last seven fixtures
• Celtic are the top scorers in the SPL with 24 strikes in eight outings
• The Hoops have won half a dozen away league games in a row

Can Motherwell pull off a shock?

Motherwell head into this game in good form, with four wins from their last six league outings meaning they sit in fifth place in the table.

Five of those games, as well as a 2-1 League Cup success against Dundee United have included 3+ goals.

There is a concern that they are losing a few matches though, being beaten 1-0 by Dundee last time out, as well as further losses to Rangers and Aberdeen this year, the clubs currently in third and second in the table.

Celtic looking to kick on

That is good news for visitors Celtic, who head into this round of fixtures in top spot in the table, above Aberdeen on goal difference, after the two clubs drew 2-2 at the weekend.

They followed that up by holding Atalanta to a 0-0 stalemate in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, which ended a run of six successive games containing 3+ goals.

Indeed, they are the top scorers in the Scottish Premiership this season, averaging exactly three strikes per game from eight outings, seven of which have ended in a win.

I predict there will be three or more goals in this match and that Celtic will win, with 3-1 my correct score prediction.
