Celtic will be aiming to retain top position in the Premiership table when they face Aberdeen in round five. The Hoops head into the clash following a 2-1 win over Falkirk and have been particularly strong at home, winning 60% of their last 10 matches at Celtic Park. Martin O'Neill's men have also failed to score in none of their last 10 games, while averaging 1.80 goals per home match. Reo Hatate, Alistair Johnston, Jota, Kasper Hogh and Callum McGregor remain in the recovery room.
Aberdeen, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to Rangers, despite putting up a good fight. The Dons managed only 0.46 xG in that match and now face a much tougher test against the league leaders. Still, Aberdeen have won 70% of their last 10 matches and boast an impressive 75% away win rate. Kusini Yengi, Kristers Tobers, Bradley Lyons and Emmanuel Gyamfi remain sidelined with injuries.
The Hoops have won 46 of their last 57 H2H meetings and are unbeaten at home in their recent run. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Celtic Over 1.5 goals and Celtic to Win Both Halves (Celtic have scored at least twice in 60% of their last 10 home matches).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Wednesday 2 September 2026 at 19:45.
