Celtic host Aberdeen looking to make it four wins from four in the Scottish Premiership. The champions sit top of the table with a perfect record (9 points from 3 games, 8 goals scored, 2 conceded), while Aberdeen are 10th with 3 points after mixed results.
Form & Context
- Celtic: Unbeaten in the league and dominant at home. Recent 2-1 win over Falkirk kept their perfect start intact. Historically overwhelming against Aberdeen at Celtic Park (winless in 16 visits for the Dons, with heavy losses common).
- Aberdeen: One win and two losses in the league so far. Struggled for goals recently and have a poor away record against the Hoops.
Celtic have not lost to Aberdeen in the league for a long stretch and hold a massive historical advantage at home.
Team News
Celtic: Alistair Johnston, Jota and Reo Hatate are out. Callum McGregor and Kasper Høgh are doubts. Kieran Tierney may also miss out.
Aberdeen: Several absences including Bradley Lyons, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Kristers Tobers and Kusini Yengi.
Likely Celtic shape features the usual attacking options with Camilo Durán a key threat up front.
Prediction
Celtic 3-1 Aberdeen
Celtic should control the game at Paradise and extend their perfect start. Aberdeen may score (as they sometimes do in these fixtures), but the hosts’ quality and home dominance make a comfortable win the most likely outcome.
