Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish League Cup
by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions
Hibernian are set for yet another tough outing as they head to Celtic for a Round of 16 League Cup tie. A week after hosting Celtic in the league, Hibs have the task to defend their place in the cup competition. Here’s our preview and prediction for this match.
Celtic are outright favorites coming into this game. On Match Day 2 in the Premiership, they beat Hibernian 2-0 to extend their fine start to the season.
Having scored six times in just two matches, The Hoops have set themselves as the most attacking side thus far. This is a chance for Brendan Rodgers’ charges to extend their undefeated run against Hibernian to five.
With eight straight wins, there will be few doubters as to their ability to win a third straight game this season. Four of their last five wins were with clean sheets.
Hibernian were the most recent victims of Celtic’s dominance in Scotland, beaten by two early goals at home. Facing the same opposition on the back of straight defeats doesn’t put them in a very strong position.
Their advancement to this stage was thrown in doubt after losing to League one side Kelty Hearts but they recovered, only to land Celtic. A 3-0 loss to St. Mirren before falling to Celtic is enough evidence for the worried away fans.
Another defeat looms here, seeing that they have just a win in 22 meetings with Celtic. They avoided defeat in only one of the last 10 visits to Celtic, a 1-1 draw in 2021. The fact that they don’t have a win in the last four away matches makes it tougher.

Our Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction
Celtic have carried into the season their fine preseason form and seem unstoppable, after scoring six in just two matches. They’ve also done that without conceding, and stretched their run to four wins with clean sheets out of five.
Having been eliminated at this stage last season, Celtic will be keen not to fall again. Hibernian on the other hand, are having a disappointing start to the season and their chances here are really slim. They haven't been convincing in either defence or attack so far. Our prediction for Celtic v Hibernian is for Celtic to win with a clean sheet.
