Celtic -1
Celtic have been more than comfortable at home in the Scottish Premiership this season. Brendan Rodger’s side have won 12 of their 13 assignments on home territory, scoring 43 goals and conceding just two – both table-topping metrics in the SPFL.
By contrast, Aberdeen have won just four of their 13 games on the road in the Scottish Premiership this campaign. Aberdeen have been the best-performing side behind Celtic and Rangers this season, but this gap is substantial.
There are 28 points between these sides heading into this game, which is a more accurate representation of the gap in quality between the sides despite what the league table suggests.
Celtic ran out 1-0 winners in the initial meeting earlier in the season. They were pretty dominant in the encounter, and their grip on the game should only get tighter here on home ground.
Celtic had 15 shots generating an xG of 1.62 in the initial meeting and the fact they’ve only conceded two goals at home all season makes this handicap option a decent angle with Celtic quite short to win outright here.
3+ Aberdeen cards
Aberdeen are quite an aggressive side, they’ve collected 73 yellow cards across their 27 games in the Scottish Premiership this season (2.7 per game) – seven more cautions than any other side in the division.
Their foul record matches this card rate, with Jimmy Thelin’s side averaging 11.3 fouls committed per game in the SPFL this campaign.
Aberdeen were shown three yellow cards in the initial meeting between the sides. Aberdeen were without the ball for the majority of the game (26% possession), which naturally meant that they had to manage an increased defensive workload, which resulted in 12 fouls and those three cautions.
Daizen Maeda to score or assist
Maeda scored Celtic’s only goal in a surprise defeat to Hibernian last time out. The winger has been bright in recent weeks and put in two excellent performances across two legs against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, meaning he enters this fixture with plenty of form.
Maeda has provided 16 goal contributions across his 24 appearances in the Scottish Premiership, making him Celtic’s second top goalscorer this season, as well as providing more assists than anyone else in the Celtic squad (seven).
Maeda has registered 12 goal contributions across his last ten games in all competitions, suggesting he enters this game with plenty of confidence. He can continue his brilliant run against an Aberdeen side that have failed to keep a clean sheet against Celtic in their last five head-to-head meetings.
Sivert Nilsen 2+ fouls committed
Nilsen sits at the heart of Aberdeen’s midfield and can be quite reckless with his challenges. He’s averaging 1.60 fouls committed per 90 in the Scottish Premiership this season and was heavily involved in the initial meeting between the sides.
Nilsen committed four fouls from just six duels in the initial meeting between the sides and was shown a yellow card as a result of his reckless challenges. He struggled to deal with the control that Celtic had in the game, leaving Aberdeen chasing shadows for most of the encounter.
Nilsen will be up against Reo Hatate, who was fouled twice in the initial meeting and is averaging 0.99 fouls won per 90 in the Scottish Premiership this campaign. Nilsen plays for an Aberdeen side averaging 11.3 fouls committed per game in the Scottish Premiership this term, a record only bettered by two sides in the division.
