Motherwell will be hoping to keep their Conference League ambitions alive when they face title-chasing Celtic on Wednesday. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Celtic have found their best form of late. The home side have shown flashes of quality in recent weeks, particularly going forward, averaging 1.60 goals scored per game across their last 10 matches. However, consistency remains an issue, with only three wins recorded during that stretch. Injuries to Robinson and Bjorgolfsson further weaken the hosts ahead of a difficult assignment against the champions. Defensively, Motherwell have struggled to contain stronger opponents, conceding 1.50 goals per game overall.
Celtic arrive full of confidence after an impressive 3-1 victory over Rangers in the Old Firm derby kept them firmly in the title race. Michael O'Neill's side are in outstanding form, winning eight of their last 10 matches while averaging 2.20 goals scored per game. There are no fresh injury concerns for the visitors, and all eyes will once again be on Daizen Maeda after his spectacular bicycle kick against Rangers. The Hoops also dominate the recent head-to-head record, winning 38 of the previous 49 meetings between the sides.
Given Celtic's superior form and a dominant H2H record, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside Celtic Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (63% H2H).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Wednesday 13 May 2026 at 20:00.
