Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips
Wednesday | 19:00 UTC | Pittodrie Stadium | Scottish Premiership
Aberdeen welcome champions Celtic to Pittodrie for a match that doubles as a Scottish Cup Final preview. It’s the penultimate league game of the season, but both sides arrive in very different form, and Wednesday could offer a hint of what’s to come at Hampden.
Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction
Jimmy Thelin’s men were thrashed 4-0 by Rangers at Ibrox last weekend in one of their worst performances of the season. The Dons looked passive, disorganised, and defensively fragile, issues that will need urgent attention with the Cup Final looming.
They now find themselves scrapping just to finish fourth in the table, trailing Hibs by three points and a significant goal difference. A result here would be massive, but historically, Pittodrie has not been kind to them against Celtic.
Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction
Celtic showed no signs of complacency against Hibs, sweeping them aside with ease despite having the league title already wrapped up. Brendan Rodgers played a full-strength XI at the weekend, and he’s likely to do the same here as Celtic look to lay down a marker ahead of their final showdown with Aberdeen.
Celtic have already battered the Dons twice this season, 6-0 in the League Cup semi-final and 5-1 at Parkhead. They also edged a tougher 1-0 win at Pittodrie in December. Given the gulf in confidence and quality, they’re fully expected to win again.
