1st position in the Premiership table for Celtic so far, a strong campaign. The match-going fans pray for more excitement as 8th-placed Motherwell visit Celtic Park.
- Celtic have the most scored goals (25) in Premiership
- Celtic have scored more than double the goals of Motherwell.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Celtic form and stats
As mentioned below, Celtic are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Premiership games.
Celtic are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus St. Mirren. Until that game this team had gone eight consecutive league games without losing. Ralston was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.8 out of 10. The defender Ralston hit three key passes and won 14 of 19 duels.
In the fixture before, 1-1 away to Shakhtar Donetsk (Champions League). Celtic are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Celtic Park with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 12 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Celtic has won 11 times, drawn 1 and lost 0. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Celtic has won by at least two goals 9 times when in this position.
One fact: This side have finished 5 league fixtures in a row with only one (or none) side scoring.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Celtic as they are travelling to their away game against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. That match is four days after this one.
Celtic are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Celtic Park in their league games, having scored an impressive 8 goals in 3 matches.
Motherwell form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Premiership away games so far for Motherwell with six points collected from three matches.
The attacking players of Motherwell have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 256 minutes.
Motherwell might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hearts proved too strong as Motherwell slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Fir Park. Motherwell had apparently made the football gods angry before the game against Hearts, losing the match after hitting the woodwork three times. Lamie, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.1. Lamie hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.
Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Dundee United.Motherwell have another game away in just three sleeps, a Premiership game vs Ross County. A gruelling programme for them!
Motherwell are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. As opposed to that, Motherwell have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
