Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Celtic and Aberdeen fans may have some reason for celebration ahead as their sides go head-to-head, with our prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two teams have plenty in attack, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is the tip of the day here.
