What to expect

We expect about 3.3 goals from Celtic and 0.7 from Kilmarnock, so Celtic come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 4.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 3.9 goals between the two (xG 3.2-0.7), landing about 79% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.

We put the chance of that landing at about 77 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.35, which works out at about 74 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
✓Celtic have won two of their last five.
✓Kilmarnock have won one of their last five.
✓Five of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in four of the last five meetings.
