Celtic vs Motherwell
Predictions
Stats
Odds
Celtic come into this game at home after some mixed results lately, with a couple of wins but also some heavy defeats. Motherwell have had a tough run too, losing their last two matches and only managing draws in two of their recent games. Neither team looks especially confident right now.
When these two have met in recent years, the matches have often had plenty of goals, and several of them were quite one-sided. This one looks like it could be open and hard to call, but given Celtic are playing at home and have generally been the stronger side in these meetings, they may just edge it. Still, a draw is also very possible.
