Aberdeen take on the visitors Celtic in the round 17 match o Scottish Premiership. The match will be played on Saturday, December 17th at Pittodrie Stadium (Aberdeen)
Almost all of their points Aberdeen had collected in matches at home. Only one defeat, a great difference between goals scored and conceded. If not a single "but". The hosts have not yet played with the leaders, and in the last round they beat Dundee United from the bottom of the standings with a minimal advantage, having previously been defeated by Livingston. Whether the club went on a break we will find out a little later, but according to the recent outcomes, it seems that The Reds are gradually starting to lose their own positions.

The “Celts” after the failures in the Champions League can focus on the domestic championship, though by the 16th round of intrigue as such was gone. Not that Celtic itself is good, the main competitor in the person of Rangers is rather poor, unable to withstand the struggle on several fronts. Be that as it may, a comfortable lead of nine points, only one accidental defeat at a distance, a huge number of goals scored make the champion a favorite for absolutely any confrontation. And although Celtic do not always beat opponents with a two-goal difference, and friendly matches during the pause were more disappointing, Postekoglou's wards should deal with Aberdeen easily and simply.
Last season head-to-heads were equal matches. Aberdeen did not lose big, the defeats were minimal. In the first round match, Celtic beat the opponent at home with a score of 2-0. Yes, this time Celtic are playing on the road. But it is hardly worth waiting for the loss of points by the champion, and putting the hosts in 1.5 goals plus, given the very weak game in defense, is inappropriate. We don't expect a sensation. Even after the break, the Celts will confidently deal with an opponent of this level. And most likely they won't. The hosts recently lost to Glasgow with a crushing score of 1-4. Which clearly demonstrates the difference between the leaders of Scottish football and the rest of the teams.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win with -1.5 handicap.
