Celtic’s start to the season looked set to be an easy one at home against St. Mirren. However, Rodgers’ men found it more difficult than expected to get the better of their opponents.
Only a goal in the second half allowed the Hoops to take home all three points. However, the situation will be completely different on this second matchday. Against an Aberdeen side that showed major problems in pre-season and also lost their first official game of the season, the visitors will manage to take all three points.
Yes, there is little doubt about this, for one obvious reason: the two teams taking to the field have such different squads that even if Celtic fail to perform at their best, they could undoubtedly still take home the victory.
And then there is another issue: Rangers, their historic city rivals, immediately encountered problems in their first match. So they need to send out some important signals right away, ones that can make a difference mentally. Yes, staying ahead right from the start is important. And Rangers, who are now playing catch-up, could pay for this situation.

The prediction
Despite the very high odds for NO GOALS, which are worth more than twice the stake, we believe that Celtic – who will certainly win the match – can manage to take home the three points without even conceding a goal. That said, the odds for an away win are already significant. So you could just bet on that. Because there are no doubts about who will take the three points.
