💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Aberdeen will likely create enough chances to score a goal against this Celtic side, but one goal is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.

We can see both teams to score in a 1-2 victory for Celtic at the end of this one. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
