Celtic

DWDWLW

Celtic are hoping to win again following a 1-2 Premiership triumph vs Dundee.

In that match, Celtic managed 57% possession and 17 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. For Celtic, the scorers were Hyun-jun Yang (8') and Kelechi Ịheanachọ (82'). Dundee had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target. Simon Murray (57') was the scorer for Dundee.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Celtic have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Celtic have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 7 goals along the way. Regardless, we’ll just have to find out if that trend will continue on in this upcoming game.

Ahead of this meeting, Celtic have not been beaten in the league by St Mirren in their previous 13 matches. A very long run.

St Mirren

DLWLWW

St Mirren will go into this meeting following a 2-0 Premiership win against Aberdeen in their most recent outing.

In that game, St Mirren had 57% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For St Mirren, the goals were scored by Jonah Ayunga (40') and Alex Gogić (83'). On the other side, Aberdeen got 7 attempts at goal with 0 on target.

The numbers tell their own story, and St Mirren have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 6 goals in total. At the back, St Mirren have been far from perfect.

Heading into this fixture, St Mirren have not registered a win against Celtic when they have played them away from home in the previous 10 matches in the league. Very poor away form.

👥 Head to head

Looking over their past head to head clashes going back to 05/01/2025 shows us that Celtic have won 4 of these and St Mirren 1, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 1.

In all, 18 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 12 from The Bhoys and 6 for The Buddies. That is an average goals per game value of 3.

🗞️ Team News: Celtic

Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury), Adam Montgomery (Calf injury), Julián Araujo (Hamstring injury), Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Kasper Schmeichel (Shoulder injury) will not be able to play for Celtic manager Martin O'Neill.

We think that The Bhoys look set to line up in a 4-3-3 formation this time, handing starts to Viljami Sinisalo, Colby Donovan, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, A. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Callum McGregor, Hyun-jun Yang, Tomas Cvancara and Daizen Maeda.

🗞️ Team News: St Mirren

We believe The Buddies appear most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 system, starting Shamal George, Alexandros Gogic, Miguel Freckleton, Liam Donnelly, Mark O'Hara, Allan Campbell, Killian Phillips, Jacob Devaney, Declan John, Jonah Ayunga and Mikael Mandron.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that St Mirren have the firepower to breach the defence of this Celtic outfit, although that realistically won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 winning margin for Celtic when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
