Kilmarnock - Celtic predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 9.00 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Kilmarnock to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

1.33 on away win might not sound too much but that’s what you get in a game where Celtic are seen as absolute favourites to beat Kilmarnock. Away matches are always taken with a pinch of salt but anything other than a sweet victory for the visitors would be a first-class surprise.

With a 3:2 score at the end of Kilmarnock’s last away game against Dundee , few can call the defeat especially surprising. Still, fans were hoping for more despite the stronger opposition, especially after the first half went in their favour.

Celtic had a sluggish start to their previous Premiership game. Playing at home as firm favourites to claim three points (1.16) they still struggled to gain footing in the first half. Still, no surprises happened as Celtic stepped it up after the break to record a comprehensive 2:0 victory.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Premiership matches, Celtic boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive Celtic victory from the previous Premiership season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
