Celtic Park will host key Scottish Premiership action and the focus of our next match prediction is the game between Celtic and Motherwell. After disappointment in Europe in midweek, The Hoops will want to bounce back here against The Well, a team that they have an excellent recent record against. So how do we see this game going?
A look at the league table makes interesting reading. Celtic are now second in the table, two points behind leaders Hearts but they are five points clear of St.Mirren in third. Motherwell come next in the table in fourth spot with eight points, unbeaten but having drawn five of their six league games played so far.
It hasn't been the best run of results for Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers and the pressure is on the Northern Irishman here. A 1-1 draw in the Europa League away to Red Star Belgrade was followed by a disappointing 0-0 home draw with Hibs in the league last weekend. Then in midweek, Celtic lost 2-0 at home to Braga in another Europa League clash.
Motherwell have recorded two wins in their last three, both against the same opponent. A 1-1 draw in the league away at Dundee was followed by a 1-0 win the League Cup away at Aberdeen. They then faced the Dons once again last weekend, this time at home and recorded a first league win of the season by a 2-0 scoreline.

Our Celtic vs Motherwell Prediction
Our prediction for the Celtic vs. Motherwell Scottish Premiership match is: Celtic wins the match.
It is a measure of the expectations on Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers that their start to this season is being viewed as poor and the pressure is mounting on the Celtic boss. On paper, this looks tricky against an unbeaten Motherwell, but the visitors have such a poor record against Celtic that even facing a must-win game, it would be a huge surprise if Celtic do not win this match.
