It’s first against second in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night, as Aberdeen face Celtic at Pittodrie.
The Dons are 4 points behind the Bhoys following a 1-1 draw with Hearts on Sunday. Meanwhile, Celtic strengthened their position at the summit with a 5-0 rout of Ross County on Saturday.
⭐ Aberdeen v Celtic Best Bets
Look to Celtic to come out on top in a game featuring 2 or more goals at Pittodrie on Wednesday night. Brendan Rodgers’ side have won 12 of their 13 Scottish Premiership games this season, scoring at least twice in each of those 12 triumphs.
Furthermore, the Bhoys have hit multiple goals in each of their three Scottish League Cup wins this term, including a 6-0 hammering of Aberdeen at Hampden last month.
Nicolas Kuhn looks overpriced to score against an Aberdeen side without a clean sheet in their last 6 matches. The German winger has scored 11 times across his 19 appearances for Celtic in all competitions this season.
He has netted in each of his last two outings in the Scottish Premiership, not to mention he also notched against Aberdeen in a Scottish League Cup semi-final tie at Hampden last month.

💻 Aberdeen v Celtic Form and Tactics
After enjoying an incredible start to the season under new manager Jimmy Thelin, Aberdeen have hit a bit of a sticky patch in recent weeks. The Dons have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions.
Last time out, Aberdeen were held to a 1-1 draw away at Hearts. Thelin’s team lacked creativity at Tynecastle on Sunday, as evidenced by their xG output of just 0.53. They lost the shot count 16-8, mustering up just three efforts on target.
No team has been shown more yellow cards (40) than Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership this season. The Dons have racked up 5 yellow cards in each of their previous 2 league and cup meetings with Celtic this season.
However, it’s worth noting that both Aberdeen and Celtic are the only 2 sides in the Scottish top-flight that have yet to receive a red card this term.
Celtic made it 12 wins from 13 in the Scottish Premiership by ruthlessly cutting apart Ross County in a 5-0 win on Saturday. Brendan Rodgers’ side raced into a 5-0 lead before half-time. That was the latest in a long line of dominant displays from Celtic this season. They created a huge 3.07 xG, peppering their opponents goal with 25 shots, nine of which were on-target efforts.
Celtic have been the corner kings of the Scottish Premiership this season. The Hoops are averaging a whopping 9.54 corners per-game in the Scottish top-flight this term. They racked up no fewer than 19 flag-kicks against Ross County last time out.
With a total of just 17 yellow cards this season, Celtic are statistically the Scottish Premiership’s best behaved club this term. Rodgers’ side have received just 1 caution in each of their previous 2 meetings with Aberdeen this season.
