Rangers - Celtic predictions

Though Rangers are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

While Celtic may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.07 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The home team are coming on the back of a convincing home victory against Hibernian last round. They took the lead early and went on to win the match 3:1, which was hardly surprising considering most Premiership betting predictions saw them as the clear favourites.

The visitors had an easy victory in the previous round of the Premiership. It was another away game for them and the one they were widely expected to dominate. That did not happen for the first 45 minutes though but then Celtic stepped up after the break to record a resounding 0:3 victory over Livingston.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Rangers and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Premiership matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Celtic carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Rangers as somewhat more likely to win.

Kieran Dowell, Abdallah Dipo Sima, Oscar Manuel Cortés Cortés will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

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 1.65, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
