Hamilton Academical FC vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by James | in Scottish Premiership Predictions
Celtic continue their bid to stay in title contention when they travel to Hamilton Academical for a Scottish Premiership clash on Boxing Day. Looking for their tenth successive championship, the visitors are currently second in the table, 16 points behind Rangers after 19 matches. However, Neil Lennon's side have three games in hand on their rivals. Hamilton, meanwhile, are 11th in the table, four points clear of bottom-placed Ross County. The strugglers suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Livingston on Wednesday night; it was their 12th loss of the league campaign, no other team being on the losing side more often. Celtic have only lost once in this league campaign, yet several costly draws have seen them stumble in Rangers' wake. Neil Lennon has achieved an astonishing amount of success with Celtic, and that's buying him time in an otherwise pressured environment. Celtic have been troubled by fixtures on the road in this campaign, failing to win five of their last six games in all competitions.
Celtic have won their last 13 matches against Hamilton, a run dating back to 2016. Five of their last six meetings have featured three or more goals, the majority coming for Celtic on each occasion. No team in the Scottish top flight has fewer home points than Hamilton's tally of five. They have failed to win eight of their last nine home games. It would be a massive shock if Celtic failed to win here. Back Celtic to score three or more goals.
