Livingston aim to put an end to their dreadful winless run, having failed to win a league game since August 9, 2025, but given their negative H2H record against Celtic, we predict a 3-0 away win. The Lions' numbers reflect the struggle: 0.40 points per game overall, 0% win rate, and only 0.80 goals scored per match. Defensively, things are equally concerning, with 1.90 goals conceded on average and 0 clean sheets all season. Their expected goals (1.24) suggests some chance creation, but defensive fragility remains a major issue, highlighted by an xGA of 1.54. Squad depth is stretched further, with Blaney, Denholm, Kerr, and Montgomery all injured, leaving Livingston with limited rotation options.
Celtic, despite an inconsistent run, arrive far stronger statistically. They average 1.80 points per game, maintain a 60% win rate, and consistently score (1.70 goals per match). Their expected goals numbers are impressive—2.16 at home, 1.34 away—showing sustained attacking output. Defensively, they remain superior to most sides in the division, with 30% clean sheets and only 1.30 goals conceded on average. The Hoops travel without Tounekti and Balikwisha due to international duty, while Kelechi Iheanacho is doubtful, but Celtic’s depth ensures minimal disruption.
With Celtic winning each of their last eight encounters with Livingston, Away Win seems like a sure betting option, alongside Celtic/Celtic and Over 2.5 goals.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 27 December 2025 at 15:00.
