Match Preview
Celtic will be looking to extend their winning streak and maintain their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they visit Hibernian on Saturday.
Hibernian, on the other hand, is struggling to find their form, having failed to win any of their previous three matches and could potentially fall into the relegation zone if they lose this game.
Despite Hibernian’s recent struggles, they have been building a steady run of form by going six games unbeaten in all competitions before losing 4-0 to Rangers last weekend.
However, they will face a tough test against the only undefeated team in the league, Celtic.
The Hoops are the highest-scoring team in the Scottish Premiership and have already established a seven-point lead over their closest rivals.
The hosts will take some confidence from the fact that they are defensively stronger at home, but they will need to be at their best to stop Celtic’s attacking prowess.
Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to extend their unbeaten start to the campaign and continue their quest to defend their Scottish Premiership title.
Celtic will come into this game with even more confidence following their first point in the Champions League on Wednesday night, drawing 2-2 against Atletico Madrid.
The Hoops have also been dominant in their recent league encounters, scoring four goals against Hearts in their most recent game.
In terms of team news, Jojo Wollacott may return to the starting XI for Hibernian after being named as a substitute in their last game.
Meanwhile, Furuhashi and Palma are expected to lead the line for Celtic after both men scored in the Champions League.
However, Brendan Rodgers will remain without Stephen Welsh, and Maik Nawrocki may not be match-fit.
- Prediction: Hibernian 0-3 Celtic
