Command Analysis
St. Johnstone
St. Johnstone was able to beat Hibernian 2-1 in the last round, thereby ending a three-game losing streak in a row. This victory allowed the club to settle in the top 10, and currently the club is on the eighth line of the rating with six points scored. It will be difficult to improve your position in the ranking after the upcoming match, because the enemy is demolishing everyone in its path.
Celtic
Celtic sensationally failed to qualify for the main stage of the Champions League. In the qualifying final, we managed to beat the WEASELS 3-0 in the first match. But after this victory, the players relaxed, as they thought that the opponent would not resist in the second leg. As a result, a 1-4 defeat and a fifth missed goal in two incomplete halves, and now the team will play European competitions in the Europa League. But in the national championship, Celtic demolishes everyone in its path: five rounds — five wins. The guests clearly do not intend to stop there.
St. Johnstone is a very convenient opponent for Celtic. In three of the last four face-to-face matches, the visitors won with an advantage of at least four goals. Considering that the guests are in excellent playing shape at the moment, we conclude that it will not be difficult for a weaker opponent to take the next three points and consolidate their lead in the standings.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) on Celtic with a coefficient of 2.25
The guests won one of the last two victories with the following score
