Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction: Another competitive encounter ahead

Pittodrie Stadium will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Aberdeen and Celtic. The two teams have been at the top level this season and will hope to take their chances. How will this game unfold?

Aberdeen played Hearts the previous weekend and failed to take maximum points. In a game that ended 1-1, Nicky Devlin's 62nd-minute strike denied Aberdeen maximum points after Leighton Clarkson had put them in the lead. However, Aberdeen have failed to win four of their last five games, losing to Celtic and St. Mirren, while drawing Hibernian. In that run, Aberdeen's lone win came against Dundee FC. With 33 points, Aberdeen sit second spot in the standings, scoring 29 goals and conceding 16. 

Celtic last encounter was against Ross County and they secured a big win. In a game that ended 5-0, Celtic scored five times before the break. Liam Scales, Luke McCowan, Paulo Bernardo, Callum McGregor, and Adam Idah netted for this team. However, Celtic have pulled off an unbeaten run of 12 matches, winning nine and drawing three. This season, Celtic have accumulated 37 points from 13 matches, scoring 40 times and conceding 4, leaving the top of the standings. 

Aberdeen have struggled in their last matches and need more than luck here, to take maximum points. However, Celtic have been playing so well, pulling off strong results during the last weekend against Ross County. In their last meeting, Celtic pulled off a strong result, and that might be the case this time. Yet, I feel Aberdeen at home will get a chance offensively. Expect goals in this game, both Celtic will take maximum points.
