Celtic arrive with fresh belief after qualifying on the very last day of the Europa League. Next on the agenda for The Bhoys is chasing the Scottish Premiership title by first cutting Hearts' six-point gap at the top. They host a Falkirk side that they comfortably beat twice with clean sheets this season. But can they do a third? Let's get into this match prediction.

The Bhoys have stumbled repeatedly in the league over their most recent games. However, the latest was a hard-fought 2-2 draw with league leaders, which followed back-to-back wins over Dundee United and, interestingly, Falkirk.

The problem is the two games they lost prior, which made it four losses in their last five at some point. Celtic will surely be kicking itself with those defeats, as even two wins in those four could've seen them top today. Thankfully, their next challenge is one they've overcome easily this season and over the years.

Still, the home side must be cautious as Falkirk have been punching above their weight recently. The Bairns just thrashed Hibernian 4-1, and that win followed a smashing victory over league leaders Hearts in the Scottish Cup. It's only the loss to Celtic that tainted Falkirk's four-win run in its last five games.

Our Celtic vs Falkirk Prediction

Our verdict: the “Both Teams To Score” bet won't win in this game. The numbers just don't favour a high-scoring game or goals from both sides. Celtic leads the league with the second-most clean sheets. But Falkirk aren't far behind, keeping the fourth most clean sheets.

If anything, we see this game ending like their only two meetings this season, with The Gers coming out unscathed against The Bairns. Hence, our Celtic vs Falkirk prediction is Both Teams To Score - No.
