Sunday’s football game between Motherwell and Celtic will bring down the curtain on the Premiership round 27. The Well aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Hearts and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field against the Scottish powerhouse. All Andrew Halliday, Adam Montgomery, and Callum Slattery are injured for the home side.
The Hoops, on the other hand, produced an under-par display in a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock at the weekend, with the team dropping to second place in the standings. Celtic are eager to return to winning ways in the national championship and seeing that Motherwell suit them, we are tempted to place our bets on the title hopefuls. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but all Alistair Johnston, Reo Hatate, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Adam Montgomery, and James McCarthy continue to miss out through injuries.
How the bookies view it
Celtic remain overwhelming favourites at 1/3 with Jbet888.net. Motherwell can be backed at 17/2 with Paddy Powwr and the draw is 9/2 with Jbet88.
Recent head to heads
Motherwell have given Celtic problems this season after holding them to a draw at Parkhead and losing to a last gasp goal at Fir Park having levelled themselves in injury time in September.
But Celtic have won on their last eight trips to Fir Park and last lost there in 2013.
Players to watch
Canadian striker Theo Bair has been something of a surprise hero for Well this season having netted eight goals in his last nine games having arrived from St Johnstone with a dismal scoring record. He is 17/4 to score anytime with QQjili Casino.
Adam Idah wasn’t exactly the big name striker Celtic fans wanted last month, but he’s looked decent in his outings so far and is 7/5 with William Hill’s and takes the spot kicks too.
Recent Meetings
When it comes to head-to-head encounters, Celtic have had the upper hand in recent years. They have a 100% unbeaten record against Motherwell starting in 2015. In their most recent encounter, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. On this ground, Celtic are on an eight-game winning streak.
Motherwell vs Celtic Prediction
The main reason behind Motherwell’s poor display is that they are unable to maintain possession. Many punters will find it hard to believe that they have won only a single game since the beginning of this month. It will be a tough game for them as they take on Celtic.
Celtic are one of the best teams in the league this season. They are in tough competition with Rangers and they have dominated this fixture in the last nine years. Our first tip is that Celtic will win both halves of this game at the 1.77 odds.
Although Motherwell have a weak form, they managed to score five goals in their last home win against Ross County. Also, we cannot ignore the fact that both teams found the back of the net in the last four meetings. Hence, both teams scoring at the 1.84 odds is surely a promising tip for all punters.
