Celtic vs Falkirk - Prediction & Match
Preview
Celtic welcome
Falkirk to Celtic Park for another Scottish
Premiership encounter, with the reigning
champions entering the fixture as clear
favourites. Celtic have made a perfect start to
the domestic campaign, collecting victories in
the opening league matches and producing
impressive attacking displays. Home advantage at
Celtic Park adds further strength to the
champions ahead of the meeting.
Celtic have already demonstrated considerable
attacking quality this season, including a 5-1
victory over Kilmarnock and a 4-0 League Cup
success against Dundee United. Six goals in the
opening two league matches underline the scoring
potential available across the attacking
positions. A strong response following the
recent European disappointment should also
increase the intensity of the home performance.
Falkirk face a difficult challenge against the
Scottish champions after collecting only one
point from the opening two Premiership matches.
The visitors have also failed to score in both
league fixtures so far, while defensive pressure
is expected to increase significantly at Celtic
Park. Celtic have won the last nine meetings
against Falkirk, with the most recent four
encounters producing a 3-1, 2-0, 1-0 and 4-0
sequence.
Recent head-to-head statistics provide strong
support for another Celtic victory combined with
goals. Five of the last seven meetings between
the clubs have produced at least three goals,
while the previous meeting at Celtic Park ended
in a 3-1 victory for Celtic. The overall scoring
average across the latest seven encounters
stands at 3.71 goals per match.
The attacking strength of Celtic, the
significant difference in squad quality and the
recent head-to-head record all point towards
another comfortable home victory. Falkirk's
defensive difficulties against Celtic make a
multi-goal margin highly possible, while
Celtic's scoring form provides strong support
for the Over 2.5 Goals market. |
