Celtic’s away goals should edge it
It is Celtic FC who should win this game, but Motherwell's structure and grit on home soil should ensure that the away side don't get a clean sweep on Sunday. At Fir Park, Scotland, Motherwell's record this season of one win, one draw and one defeat from three games suggests that they can be awkward for Celtic FC, while the recent head-to-head record also favours Celtic FC. Celtic FC are the clear favourites at 3/5, however, with Motherwell coming in at a very generous 73/20 and the draw at a massive 333/100. The market has them all right - Celtic should control the match but Motherwell's system and spirit can ensure that this game is very close. In the Premiership 2026/2027, Celtic FC currently sit top of the table with 18 points from seven matches, while Motherwell are 8th on eight points from the same amount of games. Motherwell are on a three-match losing run, being beaten 0-1 at Rangers, 0-4 at home by Aberdeen and most recently 2-1 at Dundee FC.
Different systems should lead to a goal feast
Celtic FC have won just two and lost three of their last five games in all competitions, being beaten 1-3 at home by Ferencvarosi TC in the UEFA Europa League and 0-1 at home by Rangers in the opening fixture of the Premiership 2026/2027. This clash of systems and styles should lead to a high-scoring encounter, with Celtic FC much more used to playing at a higher tempo and pressing from the front, while Motherwell like to build up compactly and press in phases.
Celtic FC have scored eight goals in their three away fixtures in the new season, so Motherwell's back line of 1.33 goals per home game conceded in the Premiership are likely to be tested again. Motherwell have enough to be a threat to Celtic's goal as well.
Alex Lowry is the top scorer in the Premiership for Motherwell with two goals from seven games and he is their most likely outfield player to cause problems in the final third. Benjamin Nygren has been in equally prolific form for Celtic FC, and he looks a great shout to nick a goal or two on Sunday.
Celtic to win and Both Teams to Score - Yes looks a good value bet at 12/25.
