Celtic’s title defence could take another dramatic turn when they host Motherwell in Matchday 30 of the Scottish Premiership. The Bhoys are now five points off the top, but face The Well, who beat them 2-0 earlier this season. Who wins this game, and what's the best bet here? Find out in our match prediction.
The Bhoys are entering with just the right kind of momentum after beating rivals Rangers on penalties in the Scottish Cup quarterfinal. That win builds on their latest league victory over Aberdeen. With Celtic back to its winning way, it'd be looking to avoid another home defeat after losing its last two games on these grounds.
The problem is they welcome a dogged Motherwell side that is gunning for a Europa or Champions League finish. Motherwell lost to Dundee FC, which marks just their fourth defeat of the season in 29 games. Another of those defeats was their 3-2 loss to Celtic in this stadium earlier this season.
The Well is perfectly capable of containing any team on the road, including Celtic, who managed to win that 3-2 fixture thanks to a 90th-minute goal. However, their away form has been questionable as of late, with Motherwell only winning two of its last seven trips. See key betting stats below.

Our Celtic vs Motherwell Prediction
It's true that Celtic has scored the most goals this season and created the most big chances. It's also true that three of the last four meetings between these two ended with over 3.5 goals. However, the situation today is very different.
The Well has the best defence in the league this season, which kept The Bhoys goalless last time out for only the third time this season. There might be a few goals, just not up to four from our analysis. Hence, our Celtic vs Motherwell prediction is less than 3.5 goals.
