St Mirren v Celtic Betting Tips [23 December 2021]

St Mirren host Celtic at the Paisley Stadium on Matchday nineteen of the Scottish Premiership. The hosts are ninth in the league with eighteen points from eighteen games while the visitors are second with forty one points from their eighteen fixtures so far. St Mirren have really struggled to pick points and win any game for a long time now. They are on a nine-game winless streak and also have not won a single game at home in their last five appearances at the Paisley Stadium. The side’s last game was a 1-1 draw at home with Hibernian while the last win coming up against Ross County on the road with a 3-2 scoreline. St Mirren have not conceded a lot of goals but have scored almost no goals in their recent few matches as well, which is a key reason for their lack of points on board.

Celtic have really picked up in their run of form after a rather mixed start to the new season. They come into the game with a 2-1 win on the road against Hibernian in the League Cup. They are now on a seven-match winning streak across all competitions and also have a three game-winning run in away matches, which speaks volumes of their adaptability. It is also to be noted that Celtic have won each of the last eight meetings between the two sides in the past.

St Mirren have hit a slump in their run of results and are struggling to pick points. Meanwhile, Celtic have picked up in quality after a slow start in the league and look phenomenal as a team. We are backing Celtic to lead at both half time and full time in this fixture.
