Celtic vs Aberdeen
Match Preview
Celtic host Aberdeen at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership, with the champions top of the table and chasing a sixth straight title. The Dons need a result to halt an early slide down the standings.
Celtic have won all three league games, scoring eight and conceding just two, and edged Falkirk 2-1 last time out. Aberdeen have lost their last two league matches without scoring, including a narrow loss to Rangers, despite recent cup wins over Hearts and Dundee.
Camilo Durán, who scored twice against Falkirk, leads Celtic's attack, though Callum McGregor and Kasper Hogh are doubts after Jota, Reo Hatate and Alistair Johnston were ruled out. Aberdeen will rely on striker Kevin Nisbet, with Bradley Lyons, Emmanuel Gyamfi and Kusini Yengi all missing through injury.
Celtic are unbeaten in 28 meetings with Aberdeen and have lost just once at home to them in 13 tries. Our prediction: 3-1
