Motherwell vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Thobelani Moyo in Scottish Premiership Predictions
Motherwell and Celtic FC will meet at Fir Park on matchday 25 of the Scottish Premiership. Motherwell is fifth in the table, while Celtic occupy the top spot. Here's our match prediction.
Despite taking Motherwell to new heights beyond imagination this season, it wasn't enough to prevent former head coach Stuart Kettlewell from handing in his resignation during the week, following personal abuse from fans.
The Well is located in the top six and is four points behind fourth-placed Aberdeen. The team comes into this game following a 2-1 home defeat against bottom-placed St. Johnstone.
That result extended their losing streak in the league to two games. It has to be pointed out that they have managed to pick up six points in nine matches indicating a side that has struggled for consistency.
Sunday's opponents Celtic, are coming off a disappointing Champions League clash against Aston Villa on Wednesday. They lost 4-2 on the road but still progressed to the knockout play-offs.
That defeat ended a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions which included five wins and a solitary draw. One of those victories included a 2-1 league win over Kilmarnock on January 18.
Away from home, the Bhoys have been in floundering form, winning two of their last five matches. However, they do come into this game unbeaten in their previous two games (W1, D1).

Our Motherwell vs Celtic Prediction
Motherwell will play their first home league game without a manager, and their chances of success in this one are slim. However, their home form has been consistent in recent weeks, and they should be able to avoid a heavy defeat.
Despite their Champions League setback on Wednesday, Celtic should be confident they can get something from their trip to Fir Park. They have won two consecutive matches in this fixture and are overwhelming favorites to come out on top, but we doubt it'll be by a big margin. Our Motherwell v Celtic FC prediction is for Asian Handicap: Motherwell +2.0.
