St Johnstone

LWDWDL ⚖

St Johnstone will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 3-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against Hibernian.

In that game, St Johnstone had 55% possession and 1 shots on goal with 0 on target. Hibernian had 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Junior Hoilett (18'), Martin Boyle (29') and Kieron Bowie (95') scored for Hibernian.

St Johnstone have struggled with their forward play of late. Their sum of goals stands at just 4 vs opposing sides over their last six matches. In those games, St Johnstone have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 6.

Taking a look at their past results, St Johnstone:

• have not beaten Celtic in their previous 27 matches in the league. That has got to hurt.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.

Celtic

LWWWLW

Celtic will go into this clash after a 3-0 Premiership win with the downing of Hearts in their previous game.

In that match, Celtic managed 71% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Celtic, the goalscorers were Daizen Maeda (17', 41') and Jota (24'). At the other end, Hearts had 7 shots at goal with 2 on target.

Over the course of their previous half-dozen outings, Celtic have amassed a total of 18 goals. Celtic have additionally got on the scoresheet in every single one of those games. Over that period, they have had 8 goals go into their own net. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, of course.

Heading into this contest, Celtic remain unbeaten by St Johnstone when having played them away from home in the previous 13 matches in the league. Quite incredible, really.

👥 Head to head

Checking on their past head to head meetings going back to 05/02/2023 tells us that these encounters have been pretty painful for St Johnstone. They have not been able to register any wins whatsoever while Celtic have dominated them, winning in 83% of those ties.

📋 Team News: Celtic

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Celtic gaffer Brendan Rodgers to contend with. Liam Scales (Facial injury) won’t be playing here.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Celtic should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, St Johnstone may well find it hard to find the back of the net, although we do think that it’s probable they’ll be managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We’re tipping a decent 1-3 winning margin for Celtic when the referee blows the final whistle.
