Celtic vs Falkirk Predictions

It should only be a question of how many, with Celtic rampant in their midweek Champions League victory.

A home win with a minimum of four goals scored has every chance this weekend.

Celtic won 19 of their last 21 home matches
Celtic have seen over 3.5 goals in 4 of their last 7 home victories
Falkirk lost 10 of their last 12 matches against Celtic
Falkirk have seen over 3.5 goals in 5 of their last 8 defeats against Celtic

Head to Head

Celtic and Falkirk have met on just one occasion since 2012. The Hoops eased to a 3-0 win in their most recent contest in 2021.

Falkirk have not beaten Celtic since a 1-0 Premiership victory back in 2007.

Celtic Form

Celtic maintained their superb winning form with a crushing 5-1 Champions League victory against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday. Brendan Rodgers's side have won seven successive matches across all competitions this season.

Impressively, the Hoops have won each of their last 15 competitive fixtures since a 3-3 draw against Rangers last April.

In possession of a superb home record, Celtic won 17 of their last 18 games played at Parkhead this year.

Celtic Team News

Celtic boss Rodgers has a fully fit squad to choose from and is likely to freshen up his selection this weekend. James Forrest, Adam Idah, Auston Trusty and Paulo Bernardo are among several players expected to earn a recall to a potentially rotated Hoops XI.

Falkirk Form

Championship leaders Falkirk make the daunting trip to Parkhead in high spirits after a hard-earned 2-0 away win at Airdrieonians last weekend.

John McGlynn's men have made a perfect start to their first Championship campaign since 2019, picking up 15 points from their opening five fixtures of the league season.

The Bairns secured their place in the League Cup quarter-finals with a shock 2-0 win against Hearts last month.

Falkirk Team News

Head coach McGlynn is expected to stick with the same XI that edged past Airdrie eight days ago. In-form midfielder Dylan Tait will feature after scoring his third goal in five appearances last time out.

Verdict

Celtic v Falkirk

Celtic have been in blistering early-season form, and a comfortable home win seems likely.

I'm on the home win with a minimum of four goals scored.
