In the last round, Celtic thrashed Motherwell 4:0, thus achieving their 15th victory of the season.

Tiphandicap (-2.5) to Celtic

1.75

Celtic are in great form and are winning victory after victory, having a comfortable advantage over their opponents. However, for now such a handicap cannot guarantee anything for the Celts and there will clearly be no problems with motivation - today the hosts will be determined. In their current state, St. Johnstone will hardly be capable of desperate resistance.

Bet on total

"Celtic" is undoubtedly the favorite and will be set on winning today. In attack, the "Celts" have no equal in the championship and will certainly create problems for the opponent not very reliable defense right away. At the same time, "St. Johnstone" will also be forced to take risks and go forward with large forces, the "saints" score regularly against "Celtic" and will certainly score today.
