Motherwell - Celtic predictions

The most probable outcome of this match is Motherwell getting completely overwhelmed. They are underdogs by a considerable margin, and it’s not likely even the most optimistic of their fans are expecting them to pull off a victory.

Celtic seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.35, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

Motherwell played their previous league match as huge underdogs but their supporters hoped for a positive result after seeing their team holding on for a draw in the first half. Unfortunately, Motherwell ran out of steam after the break, which resulted in a devastating Hearts defeat.

The away team seemed to be heading towards an easy win in the last round of the Premiership. Celtic took a lead against Kilmarnock in the first half but suffered an unexpected dip in their game which resulted in a disappointing 1:1 home draw.

Motherwell have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

While some teams tend to struggle as visitors, Celtic seem to thrive. A quick look at their recent records shows more than 5 total goals in the last 3 away games, indicating rather prolific strikers and a solid goal-scoring form.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with Celtic winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
