Celtic will take on Motherwell on Thursday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership. The Bhoys are top of the league while the visiting Steelmen are fourth. Read on for our prediction on the match.
The home side dropped points for just the second time this season in a 0-0 draw at Dundee United on Sunday. It is only Aberdeen who have taken a point away from Hampden this season when they came back from 0-2 down to claim a draw.
Celtic won 3-0 at Motherwell at the end of October in a game where the home side only managed two shots on target. The two they conceded to Aberdeen are the only goals they have let in at home so far.
It has been an even split so far this season for Motherwell away from home, with four wins and four losses. They have played 10 in all competitions on the road and have scored in every one. That record is likely to be strongly tested at Celtic.
A 1-0 win at St Mirren in their last away game broke a string of nine in a row which have seen over 2.5 goals. Five of their last six at home have also been over that total.

Our Celtic vs Motherwell Prediction
Celtic will be disappointed to have not been able to break down Dundee United last weekend. Nine of the 12 shots they had were off target but it was their 13th clean sheet in 16 league games this season.
One of those 13 was away at Motherwell and although the away team are yet to be shut out on the road this season, that could end here. It was a 3-0 Celtic win when last they met and given Motherwell games are normally good for goals, our Celtic vs Motherwell prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
