Hibernian - Celtic predictions

There is a big reason why Hibernian are given 6.50 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Celtic and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

Most bookies and expert opinions agree that Celtic should record a decisive victory here. It’s a fairly one-sided matchup overall, and they are hard favourites despite playing as the away team.

Hibernian held the line against St. Mirren in the last round, though the end result was a 0:0 draw. Still, this can be considered a mild success given the difficult match-up and home-field disadvantage.

Meeting Celtic in their home turf cannot be easy. Last round, they walked away with a convincing 3:0 victory against Dundee United and three additional points on the scoreboard. With the odds of 1.20 the victory came as no surprise and they will likely show the same form as visitors.

Hibernian’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 8 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Celtic don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

Celtic won the home game they played against Hibernian earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
