Saturday 13th February 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – Scotland – Premiership Betting Tips
Celtic stumbled to a 2-1 defeat away at Aberdeen last time out in the Scottish Premiership so they’ll be desperate to make amends on Saturday afternoon when they entertain fourth placed Ross County at Celtic Park.
Celtic are now level on points with Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership going into this weekend’s round of matches, but with home advantage behind them here, the hosts will be looking to atone straight away. Celtic’s overall home record stands at 9-2-1 36/8 and they’ve won their last three matches on the trot on home turf.
Recent wins over Partick Thistle, an 8-1 dismantling of Hamilton Academicals and a 3-1 win over St Johnstone will give them confidence they can get the job done here. Incidentally, 8 of Celtic’s 12 home matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Onto visitors Ross County, and they’ve had a pretty successful season so far as they sit in fourth place in the Scottish Premiership, but are a massive 22 points adrift of the Scottish champions going into this afternoon’s encounter.
The majority of Ross County’s successes have been achieved at their Global Energy Stadium where they’ve racked up 7 wins so far, but away from home has been a different story amidst an overall record of 3-3-6 15/18.
Four defeats from their last six away trips won’t have done their confidence much good as they prepare to take on mighty Celtic, while 5 of their 12 away matches have been over 2.5 goals.
I think there’ll be some goals tonight as Celtic look to bounce back with a win.
Pick: Over 2.5 @ 1.50 Ladbrokes
