Hibernian vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | December 28th 2022

Hibernian will host Celtic at Easter Road on Wednesday in another round of the Scottish Premiership campaign.

The home side have had mixed results this season but have particularly struggled for form of late. However, they returned to winning ways last time out with a 4-0 trouncing of 10-man Livingston, with three different players getting on the scoresheet, including Kyle Magennis, who netted a brace.

Hibernian sit seventh in the Premiership standings with 23 points from 18 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this Wednesday.

Celtic, meanwhile, have enjoyed a stellar campaign and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of a second consecutive league title. They beat St Johnstone 4-1 in their last league outing and were already four goals up before their opponents scored a consolation goal midway through the second half.

The visitors sit atop the league table with 51 points from 18 games. They will now be looking to continue their good run of form this week and strengthen their grip at the top.
