Aberdeen

LLLWWL

Aberdeen will be looking for an improved result here following a 3-0 Premiership losing effort in their last game against Kilmarnock.

In that match, Aberdeen had 45% possession and 8 shots on goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Kilmarnock had 20 attempts at goal with 9 on target. Brad Lyons (12'), Bruce Anderson (14') and Tyreece John-Jules (59') scored for Kilmarnock.

An interesting aspect of recent Aberdeen games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their previous 6 matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a loser.

Coming into this contest, Aberdeen have left without a victory over Celtic in their last 27 league games. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.

Celtic

WWDDWW 📈

Celtic will go into this encounter after a 2-0 Premiership win against Falkirk in their previous match.

In that game, Celtic had 58% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Celtic, the goalscorers were Tomáš Čvančara (39') and Benjamin Nygren (62'). For their opponents, Falkirk got 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target.

In their last half-dozen outings, Celtic have helped themselves to a total of 13 goals. Celtic have also scored in every single one of those games. During that period, their defenders have had 6 goals scored by their opponents. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if that trend might continue on in this game or not.

Taking a look at their past results, Celtic:

• remain unbeaten by Aberdeen when they've played them away from home in the last 18 matches in the league. A simply stunning run of away results.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches away from home.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 04/12/2024 shows that these fixtures have not been kind to Aberdeen. They have not been able to register any victories at all while Celtic have maintained the edge over them, beating them in 83 per cent of those matches played.

21 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 4 for The Dons and 17 created by The Bhoys. The average goals per game has been 3.5.

The last league game featuring the two was Premiership match day 18 on 21/12/2025 which finished with the scoreline of Celtic 3-1 Aberdeen.

On that day, Celtic had 73% possession and 31 attempts on goal with 10 on target. The goals were scored by Benjamin Nygren (39'), Kieran Tierney (88') and James Forrest (92').

For their opponents, Aberdeen got 10 shots on goal with 2 on target. Kenan Bilalović (74') scored.

The referee was David Dickinson.

📰 Team News: Aberdeen

It seems likely that The Dons should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game featuring Dimitar Mitov, Alexander Jensen, Nicky Devlin, Liam Morrison, Mitchel Frame, Stuart Armstrong, Sivert Nilsen, Toyosi Olusanya, Lyall Cameron, Topi Keskinen and Kevin Nisbet.

📰 Team News: Celtic

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has a number of players out of action. Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury), Adam Montgomery (Calf injury) and Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) miss out here.

It’s our belief that The Bhoys appear most likely to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Kasper Schmeichel, Julian Araujo, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, Arne Engels, Callum McGregor, Hyun-jun Yang, Tomas Cvancara and Daizen Maeda.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Aberdeen are capable enough to put one past this Celtic outfit, but one goal may not quite be enough to avoid defeat.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Celtic when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s see what happens here.
