What to expect

We expect about 1.1 goals from Hibernian and 2.0 from Celtic, so Celtic come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Celtic come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 3.1 goals between the two (xG 1.1-2.0), landing about 64% 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 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.64, which works out at about 61 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
✓Hibernian have won one of their last five.
✓Celtic have won two of their last five.
✓Four of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
