The average goals scored per game within that time is 3.83, with the average number of goals for Celtic being 2.5. That being said, we’ll just have to find out if the trend shall be maintained in this upcoming game.

• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: St Mirren

It looks as if The Buddies look set to opt for a 3-5-2 system this time, utilising Shamal George, Marcus Fraser, Richard King, Miguel Freckleton, Jayden Richardson, Killian Phillips, Keanu Baccus, Liam Donnelly, Declan John, Dan Nlundulu and Mikael Mandron.

📋 Team News: Celtic

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has to choose a team with limited availability. Kelechi Iheanacho (Hamstring injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Marcelo Saracchi (Hamstring injury), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury) and Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) are not able to play.

We reckon that The Bhoys appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Kasper Schmeichel, Tony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Luke McCowan, Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Sebastian Tounekti, Johnny Kenny and Daizen Maeda.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that St Mirren have the ability to put one past this Celtic team, but one goal probably won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We can see a close game with a 1-2 advantage for Celtic at the end of the match. Should be a good one.
