Celtic vs St Johnstone Prediction: Celtic will dominate this match

This coming Saturday, at Celtic Park, Celtic will host St. Johnstone in a Scottish Premier League game, and they'll be looking to keep their lead. The home team is coming off a win against Livingston, while St. Johnstone is coming off a big victory against Ross County and will be traveling to Glasgow for this matchup.

Under Ange Postecoglou's leadership, Celtic have excelled in 2022–23, and they currently lead their Premiership rivals Rangers by nine points. The Hoops have only lost one game this season, a 2-0 defeat on the road to St. Mirren in September. Even though Nicky Devlin scored for Livingston in Celtic's previous match, an own goal from Ayo Obileye and a goal from Kyogo Furuhashi were enough to give Celtic a 2-1 victory at home. Since taking over the team in June 2021, Postecoglou has been undefeated at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic will look to keep things rolling on Saturday, knowing that a victory will keep them at least nine points clear at the top of the league.

St. Johnstone, who have had a successful season under Callum Davidson's leadership, are currently in fifth place in the Scottish Premiership. The Saints have won their last six games in a row and are now in a position to contend for a spot in Europe. St. Johnstone and Motherwell have both picked up 13 points away from their home field this season, the most of any team not named Celtic or Rangers. St. Johnstone came back from a goal down to beat Ross County 2-1 at the Global Energy Stadium in their most recent match. Both goals were scored by Ali Crawford. If other results go St. Johnstone's way, they could jump up to third place in the table if they win this game.

In a game that will have an influence at the top of the table, we anticipate that both teams will generate a large number of scoring opportunities in an effort to maintain their winning streaks. As a result, Celtic will play to their strengths in order to secure a victory and keep their advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
