Celtic vs Aberdeen Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2024

Celtic will host Aberdeen at Celtic Park on Sunday in the semifinals of the 2024-25 Scottish League Cup campaign. The home side are enjoying a strong run of form in their league assignments and will hope they can find similar luck elsewhere this weekend.

They locked horns with second-tier Falkirk in the previous round of the tournament, picking up a brilliant 5-2 comeback victory, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Adam Idah and Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, who netted braces for the Bhoys.

Aberdeen breezed through the group stages of the League Cup back in July, finishing atop their group with 12 points from a potential 12. They then beat Queen's Park 1-0 in the last 16 of the cup competition before thrashing The Spartans 4-0 in the quarterfinals last month. They will be looking forward to their cup return this weekend as they continue to exceed expectations under new boss Jimmy Thelin.

The visitors are six-time winners of the Scottish League Cup and have finished runners-up on another 10 occasions, most recently losing 1-0 to Rangers in last season's final.
