Betting Tip: Overer 2.5 Goals
Celtic:
Sitting comfortably in 2nd place on the league table, Celtic eyes another three points to close the gap on Rangers. With an impressive record of 21 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, Celtic boasts a formidable attack led by Matt O’Riley, the talismanic midfielder who has found the net 11 times this season. Their solid defense, anchored by Liam Scales and Greg Taylor, promises to make life difficult for the visiting team.
St Johnstone:
St Johnstone, currently languishing in 9th place, faces an uphill battle as they take on the mighty Celtic. With only 6 wins in 29 matches, St Johnstone’s lackluster attack has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only 20 goals so far. Nicky Clark leads the line, but he’ll need support from his teammates to breach Celtic’s defense, which has been rock-solid at home.
Celtic: Hart, Taylor, Scales, Welsh, Johnston, Kuhn, Bernardo, Idah, O’Riley, Maeda, Iwata
St Johnstone: Mitov, Gordon, Philips, Smith, Robinson, Sprangler, Keltjens, Jaiyesimi, Mbunga-Kimpioka, Clark, Mcgowan
