Celtic vs. Aberdeen Prediction: Celtic looking for a consecutive Premiership

Celtic will enter this encounter having suffered a devastating loss on Thursday, 3-2, to Bayer Leverkusen. Before that match, Celtic had gone nine games without a loss and had won eight of those ties. The team playing at home has not allowed a goal in any of their last four league matches and has only given up one goal in six league matches played at Parkhead all season. Meanwhile, Aberdeen depends on its defensive foundations to maintain its competitiveness with the league's best teams. Only six of Aberdeen's 14 league matches have scored three or more goals so far this season.

Celtic will kick off their championship defense for the next season of the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon when they play host to Aberdeen at Parkhead. In a lightning-fast consummation of their strategy to reclaim their place at the pinnacle of Scottish football, the Hoops successfully wrested the trophy away from their Old Firm rivals, Rangers, during the previous season. Ange Postecoglou had a successful first season in Scotland, during which his team also won the Scottish League Cup. This accomplishment capped off a successful first year in Scotland. As a result of this, there will be a festive mood at Celtic Park on Sunday as the freshly crowned champions wave the flag before their match with Aberdeen, which will serve as the opening match of the season.

Aberdeen's campaign last year was a flop, and Jim Goodwin now leads the club. Tenth-place finish was their worst conceivable position last season, but significant progress is expected this season due to the Dons' robust transfer market activity this summer. They have a poor record against Celtic, losing seven of their previous eight visits. This includes a 2:1 loss in November of the previous year at Parkhead. However, although Aberdeen has not won any of their last three games against Celtic Glasgow, they are currently on a five-match winning streak and haven't lost in any of their last six meetings. In a difficult stadium, the visitors' recent form should motivate them; thus, we can expect them to give it their all to gain a win.

Even though Celtic has won most of these games for a long time, the most recent ones have been at least a little close. In seven of the last ten games between these two teams, both teams have scored, but Celtic has only won by more than one goal once. Considering their recent games and the visitor's expected improvement, we expect goals to be scored on both sides, with Celtic likely getting the winning start they have been looking for. In the end, you should bet on Celtic to get their season off to a good start.

• Both Teams to Receive a Red Card NO for 3.00
• Both Teams to Score No for 1.72
• Celtic win and under 4.5 for 1.66
