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

Wed 13th May, 20:00 BST, Fir Park, Motherwell

Martin O'Neill guides his Celtic charges to the Fir Park in the Premiership on Wednesday night, with Jens Berthel Askou's Motherwell their challengers. All of the important statistics for the clash, including head to heads (H2Hs), predictions and odds across seventeen major markets are included in this in-depth preview. It's all designed to help you make a smart bet.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Motherwell and Celtic will find the net twice at least between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Jens Berthel Askou or Martin O'Neill has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.17 equating to roughly a 79% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Motherwell are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 38% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 4.00.
