St. Johnstone vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | September 28th 2024 

St. Johnstone and Celtic will battle for three points in a Scottish Premiership matchday six clash on Saturday (September 28th). The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-3 draw away to Ross County last weekend.

Goals from Ronan Hale and Drey Wright ensured the game was level at the break. Nicholas Clark scored a brace to put the visitors 3-1 up with just six minutes left on the clock. However, late goals from Alex Samuel and Akil Wright saw the game end in a six-goal stalemate.

Celtic, meanwhile, thrashed Falkirk with a 5-2 home win in the Scottish League Cup quarterfinal. They conceded a shock goal in the 11th minute but drew level through Paulo Bernardo 10 minutes later. Finn Yeats scored in first-half injury time to put the Scottish Championship side ahead at the break. Nicolas Gerrit-Kuhn stepped off the bench on the hour-mark and turned the game around, first providing two assists for Adam Idah's brace before scoring a brace of his own.

The Hoops' last league game saw them claim a 2-0 home win over Hearts. The victory left them at the top of the standings with maximum points garnered from five games.

St. Johnstone vs Celtic Prediction

St. Johnstone won their second game of the season but are winless in four games since then. Their games have seen a lot of goalmouth action, with St. Johnstone conceding at least two goals in six of their seven competitive games this term.

Celtic, meanwhile, have been unstaoppable so far and will be expected to win a ninth game on the bounce.

Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the visitors to claim a multi-goal victory in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: St. Johnstone 0-4 Celtic
