Celtic v Aberdeen

Celtic will look to return to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership when they take on Aberdeen on Tuesday night.

Brendan Rodgers’ side suffered a rare defeat when losing 2-1 away at Hibernian on Saturday. As for Aberdeen, they kept up their mini-revival with a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock.

⭐ Celtic v Aberdeen Best Bets

Celtic will be keen to bounce back from their weekend defeat and they should prove too strong for Aberdeen. The Hoops have been almost faultless at home this season, winning 12 of their 13 Scottish Premiership assignments.

Each of those 12 triumphs have arrived alongside a clean sheet, making a repeat here too big to ignore, especially considering that Aberdeen have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 top flight away days. Odds of 2.10 represent great value here.

🔍 Celtic v Aberdeen Players to Watch

🟢 Daizen Maeda

Diazen Maeda cuts a talismanic figure for Brendan Rodgers’ side, the Japanese forward scored his 23rd goal of the season against Hibernian on Saturday. On top of that, Maeda has also chipped in with 9 assists for good measure.

Up against an Aberdeen team with just 1 clean sheet to their name across their 13 Scottish Premiership away games this season, Maeda is an appealing prospect for a goal or an assist on Tuesday night.

🔴 Sivert Heltne Nilsen

Sivert Heltne Nilsen’s love of a strong tackle has seen him average 1.46 fouls per 90 in the Scottish Premiership this season. The Norwegian midfielder was shown his 13th yellow card of the season for 1 of the 2 fouls he committed against Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Having made 4 misdemeanours in each of his 2 previous top flight appearances against Celtic this term, Nilsen stands out to commit 2 or more here.

💻 Celtic v Aberdeen Form and Tactics

Celtic tasted defeat in the Scottish Premiership for just the second time this season at Hibernian on Saturday. Brendan Rodgers’ side were uncharacteristically slow out of the blocks and appeared to be suffering from a Champions League hangover. While Celtic did manage to build a degree of momentum after half-time, it proved too little, too late. 

After racking up no fewer than 10 corners at Easter Road on Saturday, the Celtic are now averaging 9.33 corners per game in the Scottish Premiership this season. That figure increases to a shade over 10 flag-kicks per 90 when playing at their Parkhead base. Celtic earned exactly 10 corners in their most recent meeting with Aberdeen back in December.

Despite coming away from Edinburgh empty-handed at the weekend, Celtic remain the Scottish Premiership’s best-behaved side this season by quite some distance, averaging a lowly 1 card per game.

After enduring a club-record 14-game Scottish Premiership winless streak, Aberdeen’s long wait for a league win came to an end the weekend before last. The Dons edged out Dundee 2-1 and they have since claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Kilmarnock to seize the initiative in the race for third place.

Aberdeen have been one of the most ill-disciplined teams in the Scottish Premiership this season, receiving a joint league-high 71 yellow cards to date. Jimmy Thelin's team picked up 5 yellow cards on their previous trip to Celtic Park this season, and they collected 3 cautions when hosting the Hoops in December. 

It is also worth noting that 5 Dons players went into the referee’s notebook during a Scottish League Cup semi-final tie with Celtic earlier this season. That would suggest the visitors will take an aggressive approach on Tuesday night to disrupt Celtic’s rhythm.
