Betting Insights
- Martin O'Neill has brought a new, more pragmatic feel to Celtic, but the Bhoys still play on the front foot, dominating possession and pressing high.
- Simo Valakari has St. Johnstone playing with plenty of energy, looking to press, get numbers forward and play a quick passing game through the midfield.
- However, Celtic's high pressing game should unsettle the St. Johnstone structure and the Bhoys' quality should force mistakes and give them control of the game.
- St. Johnstone are priced at 5.4, Celtic are 1.52 and the draw is 4.4, which all look low to us.
Prediction
We are going to back Over 2.5 goals at 1.55 and Both Teams to Score: Yes at 1.62 .
