Celtic will play host to Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon. The Hoops are third in Group A, while the Bairns are in sixth place in the league standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Celtic have had a poor season by their lofty standards. They failed to qualify for the Champions League, suffered an early elimination from the Europa League, and are at risk of losing the league title after four seasons at the summit.
However, the Bhoys booked their place in the Scottish Cup final by beating St. Mirren in extra-time last weekend and have won six of their last seven matches across all competitions.
The hosts have won five of their last six home league games and have earned 37 points from 16 matches at Celtic Park to date. They are also unbeaten in their last 18 home games against this opponent.
Meanwhile, Falkirk have been one of the surprise packages this season, as they have survived the drop comfortably in their first season back in the top flight and could still finish in the top four.
However, unlike the Celts, the Bairns were eliminated from the Scottish Cup last weekend by lower-division Dunfermline and have now won just one of their last five matches in all competitions (D1 L3).
The visitors have earned 27 points from 16 games on the road this term - the fourth-best away record in the division - but they have not tasted victory at this venue since 1994.
