Celtic

WWLLWW

Celtic go into this meeting after a 0-1 Premiership win against Falkirk in their most recent outing.

In that match, Celtic managed 57% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Celtic was Benjamin Nygren (43'). Falkirk got 11 shots at goal with 6 of them on target.

Proving their appetite for eventful matches, goals have been seen as many as 21 times in the prior 6 games in which Celtic have taken to the field, yielding a mean average of 3.5 goals per clash. Their opponents have managed 8 of this grand total. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, however.

The Auchinleck Talbot manager Tommy Sloan will be grateful to have no fitness concerns at all before this match thanks to a fully healthy group to choose from.

💡 Prediction

Celtic can see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Auchinleck Talbot will be up against it to find success in front of goal but we do fancy them scoring as well.

We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 1-3 winning score for Celtic by the conclusion of the game.
