Celtic (home)
- Celtic are 3rd in the Premiership 2025/2026 with 54 points from 26 games and boast a formidable home record of 10 wins in 13 matches at Parkhead.
- Martin O’Neill took over as manager in January 2026 and has brought his typically pragmatic approach with him, but his Celtic side have been much more fluid than some of his previous teams.
Hibs (away)
- Hibernian FC are 5th in the table with 42 points from 27 games and they have been up and down in recent weeks (W2, D1, L2).
- However, David Gray’s side have lost their last two away games (L2) and may struggle to get a result on Sunday.
- Hibernian score 1.23 goals per-game and concede 1.31 away from home in the 2025/2026 campaign, which clearly shows that they are vulnerable away from Edinburgh.
Head-to-Head
- Hibs are winless in their last 4 visits to Celtic (D1, L3).
- Celtic have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings across all venues (W4, D1).
Key Players
- Benjamin Nygren leads the line for Celtic with 13 goals in 26 Premiership appearances, but they have enough clinical quality in other areas to hurt any defence.
- Hibs are more than useful with Kieron Bowie (nine goals in 22 Premiership matches) their main man, but Ante Suto has chipped in with two of Hibernian’s last five goals, a timely boost.
Betting Insights
- 1.41 is not a lot for them, but 6.8 on Hibs is on the long side too.
- Over 2.5 goals is 1.5, so this won’t be a low-scoring game and there may be some entertainment on Sunday.
Prediction
However, I think Celtic will have the quality to get the job done here and I’m supporting the hosts for the win.
