Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | December 5th 2024

Aberdeen will host Celtic at the Pittodrie Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have dropped off the pace in recent games after a brilliant start to their season, although they remain second in the league table with 33 points from 14 matches.

They locked horns with Hearts in their game on Sunday and played out a 1-1 draw, heading into the break a goal up thanks to a Leighton Clarkson strike before an own goal from Nicky Devlin in the second half saw their opponents draw level.

Celtic, meanwhile, have performed brilliantly in the league this season and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of a 55th Scottish league title. They carried out a 5-0 dismantling of Ross County in their last match, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in the first half to secure the Celts' biggest league win of the season.

The champions remain atop the league table with 37 points from an obtainable 39 and will be looking to extend their lead at the top with another win this week.
