Predictions

HIBERNIAN - CELTIC

  • This is priced as a mismatch. Celtic is the shortest price on a book of 4.50 / 4.33 / 1.57 (1 / X / 2), an implied 58.4%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 20.4% / 21.2% / 58.4% on an overround of 9.0%.

  • Under 2.5 goals has drifted from 2.45 to 2.63 (6.8%). Layers are happy to take that side on, which is worth respecting.

  • Liquidity is strong — €117,053 already matched on the 1X2 market, putting this among the most heavily traded fixtures on the card. Prices in a market that deep are far more reliable than in a thin one.

  • In the league table Hibernian sit 12th on 7 points (2W 1D 6L) with Celtic 1st on 24 points (8W 0D 1L).

  • Hibernian read L-L-D-L-W-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 1D 4L) — poor.

  • Celtic read L-W-L-W-L-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 0D 4L) — poor.

  • Head to head the record reads 2-1-3 — Hibernian wins, draws, then Celtic wins. Their last meeting finished Hibernian - Celtic: 1-2.

  • Our last-six model flags 1 qualifying strike here. Reading Hibernian first, then Celtic, out of their last six: HT GG 2 and 5.

  • Hibernian lean hardest on Raphael Sallinger (9.5), Felix Passlack (9.5), Jason Kerr (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Celtic lean hardest on Kieran Tierney (9.5), Mika Baur (9.5), Colby Donovan (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The read: Celtic at 1.57 is the side the market is with, and nothing in the data above argues against it.
