Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction and Betting Tips | December 6th 2023 

Celtic will host Hibernian at Celtic Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.

The home side have enjoyed a brilliant league campaign and will fancy themselves early title favorites. They picked up a 3-1 comeback win over St. Johnstone in their last match, heading into the break a goal down before Scottish duo Callum McGregor and James Forrest and Denmark international Matt O'Riley got on the scoresheet in the second half to hand the Celts a deserved victory.

Celtic sit atop the league table with 39 points from 15 games. They are eight points above rivals Rangers in second place and will be looking to widen that gap come Wednesday.

Hibernian endured a slow start to their season but are enjoying a good run of results at the moment. They beat Aberdeen 2-0 in their last match, with Dylan Vente opening the scoring in the first 20 minutes of the game before Manchester United loanee William Fish doubled their advantage with a second-half strike.

The visitors sit fifth in the Premiership standings with 21 points. They will be looking to continue their winning streak when they play this week.

Hibernian are on a three-game winning streak after going winless in their seven games prior. They have, however, won just twice on the road all season and could see defeat here.
