As long as Scottish Premiership hasn’t started yet, this summer Celtic participated only in friendly clashes. In the UEFA Champions League “The Celts” knocked out Linfield 2:0, 4:0 in the last round plus gained the draw against Rosenborg in front of their supporters, having conceded not a single goal in 2017/2018 season. In regards their statistics at away fields, Celtic have been not been defeated for over 20 matches already.
The upcoming game is going to be a tough battle as both teams are not used to lose and they concede seldom even in their domestic competitions, therefore, I assume that there will be minimum of goals scored in the forthcoming fight, just like in the reverse fixture a week ago.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
