Hibernian return from a painful Edinburgh derby defeat to Hearts and will look to respond at home, where they’ve been relatively solid with 2.00 points per game and a 60% win rate. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Celtic have been showing signs of improvement of late. The Ribs average 1.80 goals scored and just 0.80 conceded at home, keeping clean sheets in 60% of those matches. Players like Felix Passlack and Raphael Sallinger could come into the starting XI, offering a potential boost.
Celtic, however, travel to Edinburgh in strong form, averaging 2.30 points per game and winning 7 of their last 10 matches. The Hoops have been consistent both offensively and defensively, scoring 2.00 goals per game while conceding just 1.00. Even away from home, they maintain a solid 1.83 points per game, and their experience in big matches gives them an edge. The fact that there are no fresh injury worries in the away team supports our betting angle.
Historically, Celtic have dominated this fixture, winning 24 of the last 42 meetings, and goal trends are positive, with 60% of clashes going over 2.5 goals. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting tip for this Premiership matchup, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 3 May 2026 at 12:00.
