Matchday 8 of the Scottish Premiership will see Motherwell face current league leaders who have 18 points after seven games. Motherwell sit 10 points behind at 8th place ahead of a clash that has historically gone in Celtic’s favour. The away side are in good form with six consecutive league wins, so our Motherwell vs Celtic match prediction is an away win.
Celtic’s stellar form dipped as they lost their first league game to Rangers. Prior to their defeat to Rangers, Celtic were on six straight victories, scoring 14 goals. Additionally, The Bhoys have only conceded four goals in seven games, the joint lowest in the Scottish Premiership.
Getting a goal past this Celtic side will be no easy task for Motherwell, who are on three straight losses. Their last league action was a 2-1 defeat to Dundee, their third consecutive defeat of the season. Motherwell's goalscoring has been slightly more impressive as they have scored nine in seven games. Yet, they have also conceded eleven goals, showing defensive weaknesses.
We expect Celtic to exploit the defensive vulnerabilities in Motherwell to score multiple goals in Sunday’s game. Celtic have won seven of its past eight H2H meetings against Motherwell, scoring 22 goals. Current form suggests that Celtic, who are on six wins in their first seven, should pick up another routine win.

Our Motherwell vs Celtic Prediction
Motherwell will likely lose its fourth straight Scottish Premiership match of the season when they host Celtic on Sunday. The Bhoys are scoring more than most teams in the league while conceding only four in seven matches. Motherwell could try their best to keep them out, but the away side will be too much to handle.
Even worse for The Steelmen is Celtic’s overwhelming dominance in their recent H2H history. This factor, coupled with current form, is why our Motherwell vs Celtic prediction is that Celtic wins.
