Celtic - St. Mirren predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Celtic will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Celtic and the 13.00 odds given to St. Mirren to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The hosts will lack no confidence heading into the Saturday clash. They are coming off from a hard-fought draw (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY) which could have even been an away victory had Celtic been able to hold on to the first-half lead.

St. Mirren are coming on the back of a narrow home defeat to Hearts. The match could have gone either way, but the opposition displayed better form by grabbing an early lead and maintaining it until the 1:2 finish.

Celtic have managed to bag 9 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Celtic Park are expecting a lot of action this time around.

St. Mirren may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.21 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Celtic won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.41 odds offered at 888Sport.
