Celtic head to Easter Road as rampant Scottish Premiership leaders, and our Hibernian vs Celtic predictions make the visitors firm favourites for Sunday’s 12pm kick-off.
Anthony Eadson’s Hibernian vs Celtic predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
A gulf in class and form points firmly towards Celtic, so our two best bets target the champions’ attacking threat at Easter Road.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Benjamin Nygren to score anytime | 7/4 (Ladbrokes) | Benjamin Nygren is Celtic’s top league scorer with six goals, and he has scored three in his last three games. Celtic have won all four away league games, scoring 10 and conceding two, and they put seven past Hearts in their last league outing. Hibs have conceded 14 and are yet to keep a league clean sheet. Nygren to score anytime at 7/4 with Ladbrokes is the pick. |
| Camilo Duran to assist | 9/2 (10bet) | Camilo Duran leads Celtic with five league assists, has five goals of his own and has started eight of nine league games. He made two assists in the last three games, and Celtic have scored 23 league goals, so chances will come. Hibs have yet to keep a league clean sheet this season and are winless in five at home. At 9/2 with 10bet, Duran to register an assist is the standout price. |

How Hibernian go into the game
Hibernian have endured a miserable start to the season, sitting 12th with just seven points from nine league games. Two wins, a draw and six defeats tell the story, and they arrive on the back of a 2-1 home loss to Falkirk. Most worryingly for the hosts, they are still yet to register a clean sheet all season, having conceded 14 times.
Home form offers little comfort either. Hibs have failed to win any of their five matches at Easter Road, losing four and drawing one, while managing only four goals on their own ground. Against a side as ruthless as Celtic, that defensive fragility looks a serious concern.
How Celtic go into the game
Celtic sit top of the Scottish Premiership with 24 points from a possible 27, having won eight of their nine league games. The champions were beaten 2-1 at home by Celta Vigo in the Europa League on Thursday, but their last league outing underlined their title intent in emphatic fashion as they thrashed Hearts 7-1, and boast a goal difference of plus-18 from 23 scored and only five conceded.
On the road in the league, Celtic have been flawless. Four away games have brought four wins, 10 goals scored and just two conceded, a record that makes grim reading for a struggling home side. The visitors have also kept four clean sheets overall and look primed to add another dominant display.

Hibernian vs Celtic score prediction
Everything points to a Celtic win, even if recent trips to Easter Road suggest it may not be a rout. Three of the last four meetings finished 2-1, and with the hosts capable of a goal but defensively frail, we expect the champions to edge another tight-looking scoreline with room to spare. Score prediction: Hibernian 1-2 Celtic.
