Hibernian vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | May 24th 2023

Hibernian will host Celtic at Easter Road on Wednesday in the penultimate round of the 2022-23 Scottish Premiership campaign.

The home side have had mixed results in the league of late and now look set to miss out on the European playoff spots. They were beaten 3-1 by Rangers last time out and were already three goals down before Paul Hanlon scored a late consolation goal from a corner kick.

Hibernian sit fifth in the league table with 48 points from 36 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest result as they target maximum points in their final home game of the season.

Celtic, meanwhile, have enjoyed an overall brilliant season and have already secured the league title. They were held to a 2-2 draw by St Mirren in their last game, falling behind twice and coming back to draw level on both occasions via goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and team captain Callum McGregor.

Celtic have picked up 96 points this season and will look to add to that tally this week.

Hibernian vs Celtic Prediction

Hibernian's latest result ended a four-game unbeaten run and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have, however, lost three of their last five home games and could struggle here.

Celtic are on a run of back-to-back winless outings although they lost just once post-World Cup. They have performed brilliantly on the road this season and should return to winning ways on Wednesday.

Prediction: Hibernian 1-3 Celtic
