Across the last ten head-to-head meetings, Celtic have won seven and lost none, establishing a consistent advantage in this fixture.
Over 2.5 Goals — 74% confidence
Meetings between these two sides regularly produce high scoring totals, with seven of the previous ten encounters going over 2.5 goals and generating an average of 4.0 goals per game. Celtic have already scored eight league goals in three matches, spearheaded by K. Høgh with three goals and C. Durán with two.
These two calls are about different parts of the match (match winner and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
