Celtic are brimming with confidence following a 4-2 win over Livingston and given their excellent H2H record against Motherwell, 1-2 is our predicted outcome for Tuesday's clash. The Well have collected a respectable 1.60 points per game overall, thriving particularly at Fir Park where their home average rises to 2.00. Their defensive stability stands out with 60% clean sheets overall and only 0.70 goals conceded per match. Going forward, they remain inconsistent, failing to score in 40% of games, but strong expected-goals numbers at home (1.70 xG) suggest they can still create danger against anyone. All Nicholson, Robinson, Sule, Stuparevic, McGhee, and Oxborough are expected to miss out, while Tawanda Maswanhise is away on international duty.
The Hoops travel in improving form after back-to-back league wins, averaging an impressive 3.20 goals per game across the campaign. Their attack is particularly effective on the road, scoring 2.00 per match, and they have produced goals in every away game so far. Defensively they remain vulnerable, conceding 1.50 goals on average and keeping only 17% clean sheets away, which keeps BTTS percentages high (83%). Their expected-goals numbers also point to a strong attacking threat at 1.45 expected goals on the road. Celtic have no fresh injury worries following their recent 4-2 win over Livingston.
Head-to-head history heavily favours Celtic, who have won 37 of the last 47 meetings, but Motherwell’s strong home metrics suggest they won’t allow an easy afternoon. Therefore, Away Win should be considered, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and BTTS.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Tuesday 30 December 2025 at 20:00.
