Celtic – St Johnstone PREDICTION & PREVIEW (25.01.2017)

Under (-) 3.5 goals

We are going to the Scottish league, which faces on this day 21 the undisputed leader Celtic against St. Johnstone. Let’s go with the under goals, a -3.5 that leaves us a good coclchón to paint the green bet.

On the one hand, the Celtic, leader with 58 points, gap abysmal with the 2nd placed the mythical Rangers (he takes 19 points). 19 wins and 1 draw, does not yet know the defeat in the competition. 54 goals in favor and 14 against. It would give us an average of 3.4 goals per game (within our green).

This under is based on which Brendan Rodgers has already indicated that motivated by the mattress of points that maintains, will give opportunity to players who are not enjoying so many minutes.

However if you look at the last 7 results of Celtic, it makes our bet gain strength, since in the 7 games, would be 7 green. 100% chance of success:

Albion 0-3 Celtic: GREEN
Rangers 1-2 Celtic: GREEN
Celtic 2-0 Ross: GREEN
Hamilton 0-3 Celtic: GREEN
Celtic 1-0 Partick: GREEN
Celtic 2-1 Dundee: GREEN
Celtic 1-0 Hamilton: GREEN

For their part, St. Johnstone is doing a good campaign, placed in 5th position to the hunt for Hearts. This is a team with little goal scorer: 25 goals in favor (1.25 goals) and the best teams defensively with only 24 goals conceded (1,2). This would make us an average of 2.4 goals per game (well below our under line).

If we take into account also his last 7 parties, would also be 7 green, 100% of success, like the parties of Celtic:

St. Johnstone 2-0 Stenhousemuir: GREEN
Dundee 3-0 St. Johnstone: GREEN
St. Johnstone 1-1 Rangers: GREEN
Kilmarnock 0-1 St. Motherwell: GREEN
St. Johnstone 1-1 Motherwell: GREEN
Aberdeen 0-0 St. Johnstone: GREEN
St. Johnstone 3-0 Inverness: GREEN

With all these data, I see this bet feasible. Hopefully Wright’s team will remain a defensive rock and it will cost Celtic to advance on the scoreboard, that will be the key, as their win is virtually assured.

Greetings and for the green
