Aberdeen

WWLDLW

A series of dependable performances by the Aberdeen defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their past 6 fixtures overall. In that period of time, their forwards have scored 7. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, however.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Aberdeen:

• have not won against Celtic in games played away from home for the previous 8 league games. Not an away record to be proud of.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

🤜🤛 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head results going back to 03/10/2021 shows that these encounters have been a source of anguish for Aberdeen. They have not been able to come away with any victories whatsoever while Celtic have remained in the ascendancy, getting wins in 100 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

A combined sum of 18 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 14 of them for The Bhoys and 4 created by The Dons. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.

The last league fixture between the two was Premiership match day 26 on 18/02/2023 when it ended Celtic 4-0 Aberdeen.

In that match, Celtic managed 78% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 9 on target. The goals were scored by Callum McGregor (2'), Reo Hatate (13', 76') and Liel Abada (89').

💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Celtic have it within them to dominate possession and create several successful chances.

Conversely, Aberdeen may well struggle to score themselves but we can see them hitting back at some stage, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 victory for Celtic by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
