Bitesize Prediction: Celtic vs Aberdeen – 19/10/24

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 10/11 @ BetUS

In what is a real showdown at the top of the Premiership table, Celtic will welcome Aberdeen to Glasgow on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Celtic might have opened October with an infamous 7-1 drumming away at German giants Borussia Dortmund, the Hoops are in the midst of a remarkable domestic romp. Rightfully pencilled in as a landslide contender to make more Premiership history this season, Brendan Rodgers’ men have continued to break a host of records. Heading into October’s international break with a 2-1 victory away at Ross County, the former Leicester boss has seen his squad come flying out of the traps. In fact, winning all of their first seven consecutive Premiership appearances, the Scottish giants have also gained a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. In fact, Celtic have registered 22 goals in those seven showdowns against top-flight opposition. However, despite returning from the fortnight interval leading the chase at the top of the table, the Hoops are seeking some defensive resolve. It should be highlighted, Rodgers’ men have recorded just a single clean sheet from any of their last five outings.

As for the visitors, while Celtic might have stolen plenty of Scotland’s headlines this season, Aberdeen have certainly cemented their spot as the Premiership’s ultimate surprise package. Continuing to receive a string of plaudits and embarking on what has become a sensational start to proceedings, Jimmy Thelin’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen heading into October’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 win at home against Hearts, Saturday’s guests are dreaming of the chance to punch an iconic European return this season. Signing off September with a 2-1 win away at Dundee FC, Aberdeen also mark their return from the fortnight interval holding a 100% record. In fact, Thelin’s high-flying squad have won each of their first seven Premiership appearances by an aggregate score of 15-6. Despite being a real underdog contender this weekend, the Dons will certainly be relishing a trip to Glasgow on Saturday afternoon.
