Hibernian vs Celtic Prediction: Road team is expected to run riot

In round 2 of the Scottish Premiership, Hibernian will play Celtic at Easter Road. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction. 

Hibernian

Hibernian did not have the start they would have wanted this season, as they lost 3-0 to St. Mirren away from home. In that game, Hibernian were able to hold their opponent to a draw at the end of halftime. However, their opponent needed three goals in the second half for St. Mirren from Roland Idowu and a brace from Oisin Smyth to take maximum points. Heading into this game, Hibernian have lost three of their last four games, scoring five goals and conceding seven.

Celtic

Celtic have been very good up to their season, and they showed that against Kilmarnock last weekend. In that game, this team scored twice each half to secure a four nil win. Reo Hatate, Liam Scales, Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, and Anthony Ralston scored for this side in that game. Heading into this game, Celtic have five consecutive wins and will look to extend it here. 

Expert Betting Tips

Celtic should get things right in this fixture. Their preseason matches into this season have shown much improved play offensively from Celtic. While Hibernian look to be struggling in defense, I expect Celtic to secure a dominant win in this game with goals.
