Celtic - St. Johnstone predictions

With betting odds working largely in their favour, Celtic are expected to record a clean-cut victory in this match. We expected them to completely outclass St. Johnstone.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Celtic and the 26.00 odds given to St. Johnstone to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Celtic are coming on the back of an upsetting loss in the previous round – they were trumped despite being named hard favourites beforehand. They’ll be playing in front of their fans at Celtic Park this time, though, so they can’t afford such mishaps again.

The previous round of the Premiership saw St. Johnstone tie against Livingston, with whom they were evenly matched in terms of form. Livingston initially took the lead, but the game’s hosts managed to equalise just in time to avoid defeat.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Celtic walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving St. Johnstone supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.80, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
