Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction: A thrilling but tense contest awaits us

One of the matches for week 2 of the Scottish Premiership will take place at Pittodrie Stadium, and it will feature league-leading Celtic taking on Aberdeen. Aberdeen was only able to pick up a point on the road in the first game of the season against Livingston, while Celtic defeated Ross County in a nail-biting affair that included six goals.

Aberdeen - home team hoping to get first season win

Following their match against Livingston, in which they were held to a scoreless draw in the Premiership, Aberdeen will compete in this game. During that match, Aberdeen had 53% possession of the ball and 11 shots on goal, but none of them were successful in scoring a goal. On the other hand, Livingston had 12 shots on goal, but only two of them were successful in hitting the target. Recent times have been challenging for Aberdeen in terms of breaking through defenses. During the course of their last six matches, they have scored only a total of four goals when playing against different teams. In those matches, Aberdeen has also been on the receiving end of a total of eight goals scored against them. An examination of Aberdeen's performance history reveals that in their previous 18 league matches, the Dons had been defeated by Celtic every time. On the other hand, the home team has not suffered a defeat in any of their previous seven league matches played at home.

Celtic - expected to display quality again

Celtic are coming into this matchup on the heels of a victory in their most recent Premiership match, which they won 4-2 over Ross County. During that game, Celtic held possession of the ball for 75% of the time and had 18 shots on goal, 12 of which were on target. David Turnbull scored two goals for Celtic in the 17th and 42nd minutes, Kyogo Furuhashi scored one goal in the 26th minute, and Matt O'Riley scored one goal in the 73rd minute. There were seven shots on goal taken by Ross County, but only two of them were on target. Ross County's goals were scored by Jordan White in the sixty minute and James Brown in the ninety-fifth minute. The statistics show that Celtic have allowed opponents to score in 5 of their last 6 matches, for a total of 12 goals conceded. In the 13 league matches that came before this one, Celtic did not suffer a defeat at the hands of Aberdeen when they were playing the match outside of Celtic Park. In addition, Celtic have gone winless in their last two league matches played away from Celtic Park.

Head-Head Statistics

During the previous season, Celtic played four times against Aberdeen, and the final aggregate score was an amazing 12-0 win for Celtic. As a result of the way the league was structured, Celtic only traveled to Aberdeen's Pittodrie Stadium once, whereas Aberdeen made three trips to Celtic's Parkhead Stadium. These contests were won by scores of 2-0, 4-0, and 5-0, respectively.

Expert Betting Tips

In spite of the fact that the home team still appears to be struggling in attack, I thought Aberdeen put in a good showing in their encounter against Livingston. However, despite the fact that Celtic appeared to be a squad that was ready to defend their title once more, the away side might surprise us with another outstanding performance. If Celtic, on the other hand, are able to demonstrate some progress in defense, then we can be assured that the away team will win this match and score at least two goals in the process. A victory for the visiting team in the first half is also a possibility, as I do not believe Aberdeen's defense will be able to effectively stop this Celtic team's informed and aggressive attack.
