Motherwell vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | 26th October, 2024

Motherwell take on Celtic in the ninth matchday of games in the Scottish Premier League First Phase on Saturday. Both teams are in the top half of the points table.

Stuart Kettlewell's Motherwell are coming off a 1-0 home loss to Dundee in their previous league outing a week ago. Lyall Cameron's 39th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams. The Steelmen are fifth with 13 points from eight games, winning four times.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers' Celtic saw their perfect 7-0 start to their league campaign end last week with a 2-2 home draw with Aberdeen. The Bhoys were 2-0 ahead inside 27 minutes but conceded twice within 10 second-half minutes to drop points for the first time this season. They drew goalless at Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

Rodgers' side lead the domestic league points table on goal difference over second-placed Aberdeen, who are also unbeaten after eight league outings and also saw their seven-game perfect start come to an end.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Motherwell-Celtic Scottish Premier League clash at Fir Park.

Motherwell vs Celtic prediction

Celtic have had a rousing start to the season, especially in the league, where they have flown out the blocks. Moreover, Brendan Rodgers' side have absolutely dominated their head-to-head with Motherwell.

The hosts' last victory over Celtic was a 2-1 verdict in December 2015 at Celtic Park. More worryingly, Motherwell have conceded 30 times in their last nine home games across competitions and have lost their last six league meetngs with the Bhoys.

On paper, the fixture appears to be a complete mismatch, so we expect Rodgers' side to take a commanding win as they look to remain atop the standings.

Prediction: Motherwell 0-3 Celtic
