Celtic FC will be out to cement their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they make the trip to Paisley to lock horns with St Mirren at the SMISA Stadium on matchday six. The defending champions, Celtic, have not only maintained a 100% record but also boast the league's best offensive record, hence our prediction for an away win combined with over 2.5 goals.
St Mirren are the closest challengers for the top spot in the Scottish Premiership. The home side occupies second place with ten points, two behind early pacesetters and defending champions Celtic.
Three teams have managed to avoid defeat, and Craig McLeish's men are also in the fold, having won three and drawn once in four games. During this period, they scored seven goals and are ranked the joint third-best offensive side alongside Hearts.
The Buddies' recent league outing was a 1-0 away victory over Kilmarnock. Fraser Taylor scored the only goal in that match.
Celtic FC have been on cloud nine and their title defense has been nothing but smooth sailing. The defending champions are the only side in the Scottish Premiership that have maintained a 100% record so far.
Last time out, the Bhoys mauled Aberdeen in a 3-0 home victory. It was the third successive time that a match involving them ended with more than two goals being scored.
