Celtic 1/2 to beat Aberdeen in Wednesday’s Scottish Premiership contest

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Celtic win

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on their recent resurge in midweek, Celtic will host a struggling Abrdeeen from behind closed doors on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Celtic might have shown a host of issues so far this year, they do appear to be enjoying a recent resurge of late. In their 28 Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded 18 wins, seven draws and three defeats, scoring 63 and conceding 22 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 61 and opening the midweek fixtures still sat second in the standings, the defending champions are 18 points adrift of runaway leaders Rangers. As for their recent run of results, last seen over the weekend when picking up a 2-1 victory away at St. Johnstone, Celtic have won each of their last four Premiership matchups on the bounce. Recording at least a pair of strikes in each of those four victories, the Hoops should be confident of extending on that tally in midweek.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a toothless run of form, the mood in Aberdeen’s camp will be at a worrying low. In their 28 Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, nine draws and seven defeats, scoring 31 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 45, the Reds open the midweek fixtures sat fourth in the table and four points adrift of breaking back into the top-three. As for their recent run of results, settling for a 0-0 stalemate against St. Mirren on home soil last time out, Aberdeen have failed to win any of their last five Premiership contests on the bounce. More worrying, failing to record a single strike in any of those five outings, it should also be highlighted that Wednesday’s guests have not recorded a win on the road since opening 2021.
