Celtic v Kilmarnock : Premiership match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 4th Aug, 16:30 BST, Celtic Park, Glasgow

Kilmarnock pay Premiership competitors Celtic a visit on Sunday afternoon, as Derek McInnes guides his side into an away clash with Brendan Rodgers & co. at the Celtic Park. The aim of this preview is, quite simply, to help you make the smartest bet possible. To this end, stats for every betting market have been published below, with head-to-head records and statistically significant form streaks highlighted. The best odds are provided too.

Best Tip: Celtic to win

As the stadium fills and the Celtic players ready themselves for this game, the bookies are predicting a win for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we use in our predictive algorithms. The Celtic Park has not been a successful away day for Kilmarnock in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Sunday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is our tip.

Goal Statistics

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Kilmarnock fans, as should a 5 Premiership matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
