Celtic vs Aberdeen Prediction: Home team to get a revenge win

On Sunday, Celtic will take on Aberdeen at home in the 2023–24 Scottish Premiership season, and they will do so with the goal of maintaining their perfect record thus far. Both sides come into this match on the heels of playing European matches during the previous week, which resulted in quite different outcomes, to which each team must now find a way to respond.

The Hoops have been exceedingly dominant thus far in their attempt to defend their title. Not only have they not lost a single match in their pursuit, but they also have the most goals scored and the fewest goals allowed to this point. On the other hand, Celtic fell apart in the middle of the week when they played Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and lost 6-0. The Scottish side faced an uphill battle against their opponents from La Liga after Daizen Maeda was sent a red card in the first half of the match; yet, Brendan Rogers will be disappointed with the performance of his squad. As we head into this coming weekend, the pressure is now on the team that won the Scottish Premiership last season, as they aim to show that they have the ability to fight back. Celtic have established a respectable eight-point lead over their nearest competitors in the division, but the Hoops cannot afford to take it easy or rely on that lead in any way.

The Aberdeen football team is currently in the middle of the standings in the Scottish Premiership, but they are coming into this weekend's fixture having won their previous three matches across all competitions. In their most recent two league matches, the Dons were victorious over Motherwell and then Hibernian. Against the Steelmen, the Dons showed excellent attacking quality by scoring four goals, while against the Hibees, they demonstrated fantastic defensive technique by keeping a clean sheet. Jamie McGrath scored an equalizer for Aberdeen in the 70th minute of their Europa Conference League match against PAOK, and the final score was 2-2. Aberdeen and PAOK split the points for the game. This coming weekend, Barry Robson will be hoping that his squad can continue the strong play that they have shown in recent games. This is especially important given the fact that they are now only two points above the relegation zone. On the other side, the Dons have a chance to move into the top half of the standings in the Scottish Premiership if they win three points, but in order to do so, they will have to be the first team to defeat Celtic in the league this year.

On Sunday, Celtic will be looking to put their loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League behind them. As a result, Aberdeen will likely face a motivated Celtic team that should be able to handle the opposition without any difficulty.
