Celtic

DWDWLW

Celtic are hoping to win again after their last result, the 1-2 Premiership success vs Dundee.

In that game, Celtic managed 57% possession and 17 shots on goal with 8 on target. For Celtic, the goals were scored by Hyun-jun Yang (8') and Kelechi Ịheanachọ (82'). On the other side, Dundee had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target. Simon Murray (57') scored for Dundee.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Celtic have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Celtic have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 7 goals along the way. Regardless, we’ll just have to find out if that trend will continue on in this upcoming game.

Ahead of this meeting, Celtic have not been beaten in the league by St Mirren in their previous 13 matches. A very long run.

St Mirren

DLWLWW

St Mirren come into this encounter after a 2-0 Premiership win against Aberdeen in their last fixture.

In that game, St Mirren had 57% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. For St Mirren, the goalscorers were Jonah Ayunga (40') and Alex Gogić (83'). For their opponents, Aberdeen got 7 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target.

The numbers tell their own story, and St Mirren have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 6 goals in total. At the back, St Mirren have been far from perfect.

Heading into this fixture, St Mirren have not registered a win against Celtic when they have played them away from home in the previous 10 matches in the league. Very poor away form.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A glance at their most recent head-to-head meetings stretching back to 05/01/2025 tells us that Celtic have won 4 of them & St Mirren 1, with the number of draws being 1.

An aggregate of 18 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 12 of them from The Bhoys and 6 netted by The Buddies. That’s an average goals per game of 3.

🗞️ Team News: Celtic

Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury), Adam Montgomery (Calf injury), Julián Araujo (Hamstring injury), Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Kasper Schmeichel (Shoulder injury) will not be taking part for Celtic boss Martin O'Neill.

We are thinking that The Bhoys will possibly use the 4-3-3 formation for this game with Viljami Sinisalo, Tony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, A. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Callum McGregor, Hyun-jun Yang, Tomas Cvancara and Daizen Maeda.

📰 Team News: St Mirren

We reckon that The Buddies might begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, starting the game with Shamal George, Alexandros Gogic, Miguel Freckleton, Liam Donnelly, Mark O'Hara, Allan Campbell, Killian Phillips, Jacob Devaney, Declan John, Jonah Ayunga and Mikael Mandron.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that St Mirren have the firepower to breach the defence of this Celtic outfit, although that realistically won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 winning margin for Celtic when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
