Aberdeen vs Celtic Predictions

Celtic will surely fancy their chances of taking advantage of managerless Aberdeen in Saturday's lunch-time kick-off.

Considering their dominant record in this fixture, the Hoops are easy to back, and I expect them to score at least twice en route to a comfortable victory.

Aberdeen have lost 6 of their last 13 matches
Aberdeen have lost 12 of their last 13 matches against Celtic
Celtic scored 2+ goals in 8 of their last 9 wins against Aberdeen
Celtic have won 9 of their last 11 away matches (Premiership)
Celtic have scored 3+ goals in 6 of their last 7 away victories

Head to Head

Celtic boast a commanding record against Aberdeen in matches played since 2003. The Hoops won 69 and lost just nine of 85 encounters over the past 21 years.

More recently, the Premiership champions have won 12 and drawn 1 of their last 13 games against the Dons since a 3-3 draw at Pittodrie in October 2020.

Aberdeen Form

Aberdeen welcome the Scottish champions to Pittodire without a manager after Barry Robson's dismissal earlier this week. A 1-1 draw at home to Dundee on Wednesday proved the final act in Robson's near-year-long tenure as head coach. First-team coach Peter Leven has been appointed on an interim basis.

An inconsistent side capable of rising to the occasion, Aberdeen have won only three of their last ten home matches against opponents including Hearts and Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Dons continue to languish in eighth place in the Premiership, just five points above the relegation playoff position

Interim boss Leven has one injury absentee, with Slobodan Rubezic ruled out with a knee injury. In-demand forwards Duk and Bojan Miovksi are likely to feature in the starting XI.

Celtic Form

Celtic extended their winning run to six matches with a less-than-convincing 1-0 win against Ross County at Parkhead last time out. Alistair Johnston's 1st-minute goal proved the difference in a laboured home performance.

On their travels, the Hoops have collected an impressive 26 points from a possible 33 in away Premiership fixtures this season.

Brendan Rodger's side remain five points clear at the summit of the Premiership, although they have played one game more than old rivals Rangers.

Celtic Team News

Celtic have no new injury issues but remain unable to call on Oh Hyeon-gyu, Yang Hyun-june, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate, all of whom remain on international duty at the AFC Asian Cup.

On-loan Norwich forward Adam Idah could feature in the matchday squad after he completed a deadline-day move to the Hoops on Thursday.

Verdict

Aberdeen v Celtic

Celtic have a great record in this fixture and should be expected to take care of a struggling Dons side.

I'll put my faith in the Hoops to win with a minimum of two goals scored at Pittodrie.
