Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Premiership to five games when they take on Aberdeen in a postponed fixture on Wednesday evening. The Hoops failed to defend their trophy, but, no doubt, they will give 100% to finish the season in style. The reigning champions are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Aberdeen. Even though both Forrest and Jullien remain in the recovery room, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts.
The Dons, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous five league fixtures. Aberdeen do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the midweek clash, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. The likes of Devlin, Hedges, and Leigh are all out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Christopher Jullien):
Christopher Jullien is a professional footballer who plays for Toulouse as a defender. The 195-cm-tall centre-back played for Auxere youth team from 2005 to 2011 and he made his first-team debut for the club on August 24, 2012 in a 2-1 win over Stade Lavallois.
Christopher Jullien scored his first ever goal a week later in a Coupe de la Ligue clash against Dijon. The French defender made 25 appearances in the league for Auxerre and in 2013 he moved to Germany, signing a professional contract with Freiburg. Jullien made only one appearance for the first team, but it has to be noted that he scored five goals in 49 games for the second team. After ending his loan spell with Dijon in the summer of 2016, he signed a four-year deal with Ligue 1 side Toulouse.
Christopher Jullien scored four goals, while providing one assist for his teammates in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. The French footballer was born on March 22, 1993 in Lagny-sur-Marne and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Aberdeen):
Nicknamed the Dons, Aberdeen are professional football club that compete in the Scottish Premiership. Pittodrie Stadium is the club’s home ground, and it can hold up to 20,866 spectators. The Dons were one of the dominant forces in Scottish football during Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, with the team winning three Scottish League titles from 1980 to 1985.
However, Aberdeen clinched their first domestic trophy in the 1954/55 season, with the team finishing the process three points clear of Scottish giants Celtic. The club’s biggest success came in the 1982/83 season when they defeated the famous Spanish club Real Madrid 2-1 in the title game. Later in 1983, Aberdeen won the UEFA Super Cup as they defeated Hamburger SV 2-0 at Volksparkstadion.
