Following on from being beaten in their last game against Partick Thistle in Premiership Play-offs action, Dunfermline Athletic and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

👥 Head to head

A study of past results between these clubs stretching back to 03/03/2007 tells us that these fixtures have not been happy ones for Dunfermline Athletic. They’ve not been able to get themselves any wins whatsoever whereas Celtic have been the better of the two, finishing as winners in 100 per cent of those match-ups.

A sum of 20 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 15 of them for The Bhoys and 5 netted by The Pars. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.33.

💡 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Celtic have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Dunfermline Athletic may well find it hard to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We reckon that it will be a decent 3-1 margin for Celtic at full-time.
