1.65Tip and bets
Celtic are undoubtedly the favourites and will strive for victory – the Celts already have a serious lead over their pursuers, but so far it does not guarantee anything. The visitors are in excellent form and they are quite capable of confidently taking their three points – Ross County, despite a number of successful matches, are unlikely to be able to put up a serious fight and fight for points, the difference in class is too great and 13 defeats in a row from Celtic also do not give the deer optimism.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-2) on Celtic . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on total
Celtic are the favourites and will obviously go forward with a large force right away in an attempt to decide a lot in this match already in the first half. The Celts score a lot and regularly and today they will probably not be left without goals scored, it will be very difficult to stop the superior opponent Ross County. However, the deer have recently seriously improved their implementation and have scored in six matches in a row, a goal from the hosts will not be a big sensation today.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on corners
Celtic are the favourites and will clearly spend most of the match on the attack – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-5) on corners for Celtic. This bet is offered for 1.89
