Celtic should not look for any gifts from the home team St. Mirren in this Premiership fixture. Here's our comprehensive preview!
- St. Mirren haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Celtic have the most scored goals (25) in Premiership
The visiting Celtic played their last game only four days ago, a Champions League match. That game, against Shakhtar Donetsk, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Celtic.
St. Mirren form and stats
St. Mirren have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Premiership. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at The Smisa Stadium.
The supporters are hoping that St. Mirren will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the game against St. Johnstone (placed 9th). The first defeat after going unbeaten in three league matches. Strain (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 6.85/10. Strain dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Hibernian in a game that was won 1-0.The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Celtic to win. Let's see if Mirren are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 6 games found revealing 1 St. Mirren win, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for St. Mirren here at The Smisa Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Mirren have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Celtic form and stats
Celtic are yet to lose a point on their Premiership travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games.
The Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 392 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Shakhtar Donetsk in their previous outing. The Champions League fixture ended 1-1. Midfielder O'Riley was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.74. O'Riley hit one key pass and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).
The fixture before was the Champions League-battle against Real Madrid, a home defeat (0-3). Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Celtic given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 12 matches with 8 wins as expected, 3 draws and 1 surprise home win. The favourites won 7 of these games by at least two goals.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Celtic alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (17 from 3 played). Celtic are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
