Hibernian vs Celtic prediction

Premiership leaders Celtic travel to face bottom-of-the-table Hibernian at Easter Road, with the two sides experiencing starkly contrasting domestic campaigns. Celtic sit atop the standings with 24 points from nine matches, having secured eight victories and suffered just one defeat. In contrast, Hibernian occupy twelfth position with seven points from nine games, having lost six fixtures and failed to win any of their five home matches.

Hibernian enter this match on the back of consecutive league defeats against Falkirk and Dundee United, having managed only four goals while conceding nine on their own ground. Their home record of one draw and four defeats highlights severe difficulties at both ends of the pitch, where they concede an average of 1.8 goals per game.

Celtic have maintained a flawless away record in league action, winning all four fixtures while scoring ten goals and conceding only twice. Despite recent setbacks in European competition and several squad absences, their attacking trio of B. Nygren, C. Duran, and K. Hogh gives the visitors a decisive edge against a struggling Hibernian defence.
