Kilmarnock vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions
Kilmarnock will welcome Celtic to Rugby Park this Wednesday in the penultimate round of the Scottish Premiership. After a relatively good campaign, Kilmarnock are set to finish fourth while Celtic are on the brink of a successful title defence. Kilmarnock are set for their highest league finish since 2019. With two matches to go, Kilmarnock can neither finish lower than fourth nor higher. They will be happy with a Conference League place in the coming campaign. Skipper Kyle Vassell’s first half goal against St. Mirren secured fourth spot. The win marked Killie’s recovery after a 4-1 away loss at Rangers earlier. It was also their third clean sheet in five matches and they’ll hope to build on it in their final home game. Kilmarnock have actually done well in their recent matches against Celtic. In the last four, they lost just once, and won two. From a possible six points in their last two meetings with Celtic, Kilmarnock won four. At home, Kilmarnock have just one loss in the last 10 league matches. The fact that they beat Celtic in their last two visits to Rugby Park will fire up the hosts.
Celtic are on course for their 54th league title in Scotland after downing their fierce rivals Rangers last time out. A 2-1 win at home to Rangers opened a six-point gap at the top and they now need just a point more. With two matches to play, we expect Celtic to try and finish the job here. In light of their shaky form away to Kilmarnock, Celtic will still want to stay cautious despite their clear superiority. Against Rangers, they were dominant but failed to make use of most chances they got. That was even after Rangers had a man sent off in the first half. A nine-game unbeaten run will however be a boost to Celtic’s confidence coming into this game. Celtic’s expected dominance in this game will also come in the form of their attacking prowess. They have netted at least twice in each of their last nine matches. Their ability in attack has however, at times meant they leave their backline exposed and they rarely keep clean sheets. This has left them with just three clean sheets in 13 matches. Consequently, high-scoring games are a regular occurrence for the Bhoys; each of their last nine matches returned over 2.5 goals.
