St Mirren V Celtic tips: History and form point to easy Hoops win
Published:
The international break is over, and Ladbrokes Premiership football is back with a bang tonight as St Mirren host Celtic at the Simple Digital Arena.
The Hoops have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning all of the last seven meetings. With the Buddies enduring a difficult start to life back in the top-flight, this could be a long night for the hosts.
Match Odds
In the Match Betting, Celtic are hot favourites at 2/11. Meanwhile, a St Mirren victory is 18/1, with the Draw priced up at 6/1.
Two of the last three head-to-heads have ended in 4-1 victories for the Glasgow giants.
Talking Tactics
The Hoops tend to employ a 4-2-3-1 system on their travels. Leigh Griffiths is likely to lead the line, with a trio of Callum McGregor, Tom Rogic and James Forrest behind him.
The Buddies have injury woes at the back, with Adam Eckersley and Gary Mackenzie sidelined – so expect a makeshift defence.
Up front, the lively Danny Mullen should partner Ross Stewart. St Mirren’s best results this season have come when they’ve played a 4-4-2 diamond.
Goalscorer Odds
Griffiths is favourite in the Anytime Goalscorer market. The prolific 28-year-old is 7/10 to find the net, and 21/10 to bag Two or More Goals.
Olivier Ntcham has begun the season in good form, netting in two of the Hoops’ last four games. He’s been First Goalscorer both times, and is 7/1 to break the deadlock.
Finally, there could be interest in Scott Brown. The Hoops midfielder boasts six career goals against the Buddies, and is 13/2 to cause them more misery with another.
The hosts’ best chance of finding the net lies in Mullen. The 23-year-old will be looking to add to his tally of three goals so far this term. He’s 9/2 Anytime.
