Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction: Hungry Celtic to dominate this game

Celtic Park will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Celtic and Hibernian. The two teams secured a win in their last encounter. How will they approach this one?

Celtic

Celtic pulled off a hard-fought win over their league rival, Aberdeen, the previous weekend and hope to continue where they stopped. In a game that ended 0-1, 78th minute Japanese Reo Hatate’s strike was all they needed to extend the league gap to seven. However, prior encounters to that win have seen Celtic defeat Hearts, Kilmarnock, Ross County, and RB Leipzig, as they remain unbeaten in 13 consecutive games. Celtic have 40 points from a possible 42, leaving them seated at the top of the table. 

Hibernian

Hibernian returned to winning ways the previous time out against Motherwell, an encounter that ended 0-3. In that game, Hibernian took a 2-0 lead before the break, with Junior Hoilett and Mykola Kukharevych netting for this side. However, an 81st-minute Josh Campbell strike was enough to see them seal maximum points. Heading into this game, Hibernian have one win in ten consecutive games, losing five and drawing four. This season, Hibernian have 12 points from a possible 45, leaving them seated 11th. 

Expert Betting Tips

Celtic have been the better team in this fixture, and once again, I expect them to replicate that level. While Hibernian have struggled so much this season, their last league game win should be a momentum boost for this side working so hard to avoid relegation. However, Celtic have been flying so high this season, and I do not expect their performance to drop. Take the home team to win with goals, as their attack is the hottest, but I do not see them conceding.
