What is the prediction for Celtic vs Aberdeen?

Model CS-4Methodology

Match analysis

Celtic and Aberdeen have met three times in the last year, with Celtic winning all three by an aggregate of 7-2, and that head-to-head dominance underpins Superior's pick of a Celtic win in Celtic vs Aberdeen on 2 September at 1.29, rated 54 percent. Celtic have won four of their last five matches.

Celtic have won all three recent meetings with Aberdeen

Celtic's last three results against Aberdeen read 2-1, 3-1 and 2-0, all Celtic wins across the past twelve months, and their broader form backs that pattern up: four wins in five including a 4-0 away win at Dundee United and a 5-1 away win at Kilmarnock. Aberdeen have also been scoring freely themselves, four wins in five including a 4-1 away win at Queen of the South, but have not managed to turn that form into a result against Celtic specifically.

Celtic played in the Champions League seven days ago

The risk to another comfortable Celtic win is fatigue: their schedule shows a Champions League away trip seven days before this game, with four days since to recover, a turnaround that can blunt a team's edge even against a side they have dominated recently. Aberdeen arrive fresher on three days' rest and have won four of their last five in their own right, so if that freshness shows up against a Celtic side carrying European legs, the draw or an Aberdeen goal becomes more live than the h2h record alone suggests.
