Aberdeen

LLWLDL

Aberdeen will be wanting a better result here after a 1-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against Hearts.

In that match, Aberdeen managed 47% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target. Hearts got 21 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Braga (28') scored for Hearts.

An interesting theme in more recent Aberdeen games is the number of nil scores.

From their prior six matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a loser. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Coming into this fixture, Aberdeen have left without a victory over Celtic in their previous 27 matches in the league. A shocking run, it really is.

Celtic

WWLLWD

Previously, Celtic drew 2-2 in the Premiership match with Rangers.

In that game, Celtic managed 55% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. For Celtic, the scorers were Kieran Tierney (56') and Reo Hatate (91'). Rangers got 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Youssef Chermiti (8', 26') scored for Rangers.

In their last half-dozen outings, Celtic have bagged the sum of 10 goals. Celtic have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. In that time, they have seen 10 goals go into their own net.

A look at their previous results shows us that Celtic:

• remain undefeated by Aberdeen when they have played them away from home in the previous 18 league games. Not many clubs can boast an away record against another club as impressive as that.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A quick look at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 04/12/2024 shows that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Aberdeen. They have not been able to register any wins whatsoever while Celtic have just been too good for them, winning in 83% of those games played.

In all, 21 goals were scored between them in this period, with 4 for The Dons and 17 coming from The Bhoys. The average goals per game has been 3.5.

The previous league meeting between these sides was Premiership match day 18 on 21/12/2025 and the score finished Celtic 3-1 Aberdeen.

That time, Celtic had 73% possession and 31 shots on goal with 10 of them on target. The goalscorers were Benjamin Nygren (39'), Kieran Tierney (88') and James Forrest (92').

At the other end, Aberdeen had 10 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Kenan Bilalović (74') was the scorer.

The match was refereed by David Dickinson.

📋 Team News: Aberdeen

Mats Knoester (Head injury), Kristers Tobers (Knee injury) and Nick Suman (Ankle injury) won’t be playing for Aberdeen boss Peter Leven.

We are thinking that The Dons look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this game and select Dimitar Mitov, Nicky Devlin, Jack Milne, Liam Morrison, Gavin Molloy, Sivert Nilsen, Dennis Geiger, Toyosi Olusanya, Lyall Cameron, Topi Keskinen and Kevin Nisbet.

📰 Team News: Celtic

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has a number of players out of action. Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Arne Engels (Hamstring strain), Adam Montgomery (Calf injury) and Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that The Bhoys could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Viljami Sinisalo, Julian Araujo, Dane Murray, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, Callum McGregor, A. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Daizen Maeda, Junior Adamu and Hyun-jun Yang.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Aberdeen have the firepower to get a goal against this Celtic lineup, although one goal possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a narrow 1-2 winning margin for Celtic after 90 minutes.
