Celtic will look to keep their title hopes alive when they face Aberdeen on Matchday 18. Given their excellent record against Aberdeen at Celtic Park, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Hoops do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last four games in all competitions. Even though Wilfried Nancy’s men have been scoring only 1.5 goals per home game of late, the title holders are still seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Both Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha are on international duty, but the duo should not be sorely missed.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heavy Conference League loss (0-3) to Sparta Prague. As Aberdeen have been averaging only 1.00 goals per game on the road, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Celtic’s party in Glasgow. Both Molloy and Tobers remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
With Celtic winning 11 of their last 12 meetings with Aberdeen at Celtic Park, Home Win should be considered, with additional value on Home Team Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals (62% H2H).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 15:00.
