Hibernian v Celtic : Premiership match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 22nd Feb, 12:30 BST, Easter Road, Edinburgh

David Gray's Hibernian side are on home soil in the Premiership on Saturday lunch time, as Brendan Rodgers's Celtic visit the Easter Road. We have predictions, tips, and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers and head-to-head stats across every market, so there's nowhere better to prepare Premiership clash.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

In alignment, our prediction and the odds from the bookies suggest that this Premiership showdown will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the game. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their recent form, we're going with the statistics and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point strongly towards over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
