Premiership: Celtic receive St. Mirren in what should be an engrossing football fixture. Here's a full preview!
- Celtic have the most scored goals (65) in Premiership
- St. Mirren have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Not much time to rest for the home team, as they played a League Cup fixture only four days back. This match was also played here at Celtic Park. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, St. Mirren have had more rest.
Celtic form and stats
This stadium, Celtic Park, has been a fortress for Celtic in the Premiership so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 10-0-0. Celtic haven’t lost a league-game in days ago.
Celtic's previous fixture was a League Cup game also played at their home, finishing 2-0 vs Kilmarnock. The home side are looking to repeat that performance.
Before that, Celtic had a Premiership home game versus Kilmarnock which ended with a victory 2-0.It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Celtic have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 18 games found in the database showing 16 Celtic wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Lots of goals? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 12 of the 14 most recent league games with this team has contained at least three goals.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Greenock Morton are coming to town in three days.
From these home matches, Celtic have conceded only 7 goals.
St. Mirren form and stats
There's been little loot from St. Mirren's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games in the Premiership. St. Mirren only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
St. Mirren lost away at Hearts (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that defeat this side had won at least a draw from six league games in a row. Midfield player Gogić was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.32/10. Gogić hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Hearts.After this away game St. Mirren return home for a Scottish Cup game against Dundee. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Mirren manager Robinson has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
Head 2 Head
The latest head to head meeting ended St. Mirren - Celtic 2-0, earlier this season. Celtic-St. Mirren H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Celtic seven wins, St. Mirren two wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
