St Mirren vs Celtic Prediction: Celtic to extend their league’s win

At the The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, St Mirren will play host to Celtic. Match analysis and expected outcomes are given in the following paragraphs. 

St Mirren - host hoping to get a revenge in this match.

St Mirren will be hoping for a better result following a 3-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against St Johnstone. In that game, St Mirren had 55% possession and 10 shots at goal with 2 on target. On the other side, St Johnstone had 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Nicky Clark 26 minutes, Drey Wright 66 minutes and Graham Carey 86 minutes scored for St Johnstone. A recurring characteristic of more recent St Mirren games is the high number of scores with a nil in them. We hope the host will bounce back from their loss and get a win. 

Celtic - visitors will win this match.
