Celtic vs Kilmarnock Prediction: Home team to get back to winning ways

This Saturday, at home against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic will try to keep up their outstanding streak. After a 1-1 draw match against Rangers, the home team is back in action, while the away team is heading to Glasgow after a scoreless match against St. Mirren.

Celtic are once again aiming for the Scottish Premiership title, and they must prevent Rangers from closing the gap between them and the top spot. The team coached by Ange Postecoglou is currently nine points ahead of their nearest rivals in the Scottish Premiership, with the Hoops also boasting a vastly better goal differential. Kyogo Furuhashi scored in the 88th minute in Celtic's 2-2 draw against Rangers on Monday at Ibrox, allowing the team to maintain a comfortable lead at the top of the league. Alistair Johnston, Tomoki Iwata, and Yuki Kobayashi all joined Celtic before the January transfer window even opened, demonstrating the club's proactive stance in the market. Postecoglou's team has a chance to pull 12 points ahead of second-place Rangers if they win Saturday's match against Kilmarnock and Celtic lose to Aberdeen.

Kilmarnock, coached by Derek McInnes, enters tonight's encounter undefeated in their last three games and tenth in the league with 20 points. There is no denying that Killie have been in much better form since the World Cup break ended, and if their current winning streak keeps up, they may be able to pull themselves out of relegation danger. On Monday, Kilmarnock and St. Mirren played to a scoreless draw despite the fact that the visitors finished with 10 men after Ethan Erhahon was sent off for violent conduct. Despite a shaky start to the 2022–23 season, Kilmarnock fans have reason to believe their team is on the up and up. With Dundee United not playing again until Sunday, a stunning victory for Kilmarnock at Celtic Park would put them four points clear of the relegation spots.

We anticipate a competitive contest with numerous scoring chances because of the stakes at both ends of the table. Despite this, Celtic will cruise to a routine victory and take another step toward defending their Scottish Premiership title.
