Celtic vs Hibernian Predictions

Celtic Seek to End on a High as Hibernian Chase Europe – Can the Bhoys Hold Firm at Parkhead?

• Celtic’s Fortress: The Bhoys have won 15 of their 17 home league matches this season, conceding just seven goals in the process.
• Hibs’ Attacking Threat: Hibernian have struck 12 times in their last five outings, highlighting their attacking potential despite an inconsistent season.
• Boyle on a Roll: Martin Boyle has scored five goals in his last eight games, emerging as Hibs’ key attacking outlet in recent weeks.

Best Bet for Celtic vs Hibernian 

As the Scottish Premiership nears its conclusion, Celtic will welcome Hibernian to Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon in a fixture with contrasting motivations. For the hosts, the league title is already secure, their 55th top-flight triumph now in the bag, and they are firmly focused on the Scottish FA Cup final against Aberdeen at the end of the month. Brendan Rodgers’ side have the chance to secure a remarkable sixth domestic treble in nine seasons, having already lifted the Scottish League Cup earlier this year. However, their recent form has been somewhat mixed, as evidenced by a frustrating 1-1 draw against fierce rivals Rangers in their last outing, marking a third successive Old Firm clash without a win. With their attention naturally shifting towards that cup final, it remains to be seen whether the champions will be fully motivated for this final stretch.

Meanwhile, the stakes are far higher for the visitors. Hibernian’s season has been a tale of dramatic resurgence, transforming a dismal start into a potential European qualification. Under the guidance of David Gray, Hibs have clawed their way from the depths of the table to sit third, thanks in no small part to a remarkable 17-match unbeaten run. Despite this, they remain just three points clear of Aberdeen, and any slip-up in this match could reignite the Dons’ hopes of stealing that final Europa League slot. With a 3-1 victory over Dundee United in their last outing, Hibs have rediscovered their form after a rare defeat to Aberdeen, but the challenge of ending a 15-year winless run at Parkhead remains a daunting one.

Best Bet: Celtic to Win and Both Teams to Score

At BettingTips4You.com, we pride ourselves on delivering a single, clear prediction for each match, and for this clash, our standout pick is Celtic to Win and Both Teams to Score. We don’t believe in overwhelming our readers with a plethora of options – instead, we focus on quality over quantity, providing a single, high-value tip that reflects our expert analysis.

There’s no denying Celtic’s dominance at home this season, with 15 wins from 17 league matches at Celtic Park. The Bhoys have also conceded just seven goals in those fixtures, underlining their formidable defensive strength. However, recent form suggests this might not be a straightforward afternoon for Rodgers’ side. The champions have kept just three clean sheets in their last seven home games, with Hibs themselves scoring 12 times across their previous five matches. Martin Boyle, in particular, has been in fine form, netting five goals in his last eight appearances, and the visitors will be keen to capitalise on any complacency from a side with one eye on their cup final.

While the odds heavily favour a home win, Hibs’ resilience and recent scoring form suggest they could trouble a Celtic defence that has looked less assured in recent weeks. The last time these sides met at Easter Road, Hibs emerged with a 2-1 victory – a result that will give them belief they can at least find the net, even if a win at Parkhead remains a monumental task.

“Celtic have been imperious at home this term, but Hibs have the firepower to strike, especially with the hosts likely to rest key players ahead of the cup final. A 3-1 win for Celtic looks a shrewd shout, as it reflects the champions’ superior quality while acknowledging Hibs’ recent attacking threat.” – BettingTips4You.com expert Herrin Kendrick

With this in mind, a 3-1 home victory feels like a sensible correct score prediction, aligning with Celtic’s pattern of conceding but ultimately outscoring their opponents. This result would also mirror the Bhoys’ general home form this season – comfortable but not flawless.
