Top three predictions on Celtic vs Livingston – Scottish Premiership clash
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.39
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Both teams to score: NO — 1.41
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: 1st half result: Celtic to win — 1.34
Total goals: Over 2.5 goals
Celtic’s last six matches across all competitions ended with at least over 2.5 goals. The last time both Celtic and Livingston shared the same stage, the game ended with over 2.5 goals, with the former winning the game 3-0 on the road. For this reason, the return leg would likely to end similarly as the reverse fixture.
Both teams to score: NO
Celtic may have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions, but the last time they kept a clean sheet was in their away win against Livingston. They failed to keep a clean sheet in two games prior to the Livingston tie, hence expecting The Celts to repeat their dominance at the Celtic Park.
1st half result: Celtic to win
The Bhoys won in the first half in three of their last four Premiership matches including the reverse fixture against Livingston. For this reason, the odds are in favour of The Celts winning at half-time.

Celtic may not have done well in the Champions League, but they are a massive force in the Scottish Premiership and they are obviously on course to finishing the season and the 2022/2023 Scottish Premiership winners.
Livingston
Although the Livi Lions have struggled with consistency, Livingston occupy the 4th position with 23 points but failure to get something off Celtic could see them drop as low as 8th position as it’s only three points that separate 4th and 8th positions.

Celtic vs Livingston prediction
The Livi Lions have scored at least one goal in seven of their last eight matches including friendly matches. Livingston could go against all odds and get on the scoreboard against Celtic and sadly, that’s the best they could do.
Get Rich Quick
