Hamilton Academical will host Celtic at their home ground within the 19th round of the Scottish Premiership. Unfortunately, the Scottish championship has long been a one-person show, i.e. Celtic’s, and even Rangers return to the elite did not increase competitiveness. Bookmakers consider the future guests to be obvious favorites, and it is hard to disagree with that, considering the teams’ current shape and statistics.
After 18 played rounds in the Scottish Premiership, Hamilton have 16 points in the asset and occupy the ninth position in the championship’s tournament table. Academical have had nine encounters at their home ground, in which they got two victories with four draws and three defeats, scoring ten goals, conceding eleven and gaining ten points.
Celtic have 49 points in the asset and are 14 points ahead of their closest chaser Glasgow Rangers after 17 played rounds in the championship of Scotland. The Celts have had nine away matches, in which they got eight victories and one draw, scoring 23 goals and conceding nine. The forthcoming game doesn’t have a big tournament significance for Celic, Brendan Rogers team is clearly stronger, than any of its competitors and will easily win another championship title of Scotland. But still, the Celts continue to perform seriously and probably want to break another record of some sort.
Celtic are coming to visit Hamilton to get another victory, which will probably happen. Academical have nothing to offer against the Scottish titleholder.
Prediction for the match: Celtic to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
