Celtic will continue with their title chase in the Scottish Premiership this Sunday when they travel to Hibernian. After 34 matches, Celtic are second on 70 points, three behind Hearts, while Hibernian are fourth, six points below the European football slots. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Hibernian didn’t have the best of starts after the split, as they suffered a 2-1 loss to leaders Hearts. That left them with just a win in five matches, the other three being draws.
Home should offer Hibs a lift, as they have only lost once in 10 matches at Easter Road (6W, 3D).
The last time Celtic faced Hibernian, they lost 2-1, though they won by the same margin the last time they were in Edinburgh. This is a fixture they’ve dominated, winning seven of the last 10 meetings, and will be hoping to extend that dominance.
As their title hopes are heavily hinged on this match, the Hoops are firm favorites here. They beat Falkirk 3-1 to start off their post-split schedule, stretching their undefeated run to four matches.
The visitors have only suffered one loss in the last 10 away matches but bagged just two wins in the last five. In their last four away matches against Hibernian, Celtic managed one clean sheet..

Our Hibernian vs Celtic Prediction
In their last 10 home matches, Hibernian only failed to score twice. They will be looking to keep this trend against Celtic, and it looks possible, as they scored in three of their last four meetings with the Hoops. The only concern will be that they rarely win in this fixture.
Three times in their last four home games against Celtic, they lost. Hibernian are also coming off two straight defeats, yet they face a Celtic side unbeaten in the last four games. Our prediction for Hibernian v Celtic is for Celtic to win and BTTS.
