On Sunday, at 16:30, Kilmarnock receives the visit of Celtic Glasgow, in the second stage of the first league of Scotland. Obviously, the white-greens start as favorites, even if the people from Kilmarnock dream with open eyes of a big surprise.
At Rugby Park, Celtic has fond memories, as they won 1-0 and 3-1 in the previous two visits. At the same time, Celtic won the last direct duel with Kilmarnock, score 3-1, played in Glasgow. The statistics are clear on the side of the champions, who defeated Hamilton in the first round of the new season: it was 5-1, after the goals of Edouard (“hattrick”), Frimpong and Klimala.
It should be noted that Celtic also played well in the last friendlies of the summer, where they defeated Ross County (2-0) and Hibernian (3-1), after the failures in front of Lyon (1-2) and PSG (0 -4). Hamilton started the season with a failure, 1-2 score at Hibernian, the third defeat in the last four championship matches. We expect a good performance of the white-greens, who should not give up here.
In the last 3 direct duels both teams have scored;
Celtic have won the last 6 consecutive direct duels against Kilmarnock;
Celtic have scored three goals in each of Kilmarnock’s last three duels;
In 6 of Kilmarnock’s last 7 matches, both teams have scored;
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,54
