Premium Tips

Andy is with Celtic, who should prove too strong in Paisley.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Celtic to win, both teams to score – No and under 3.5 goals13/5Celtic have been imperious, winning all four of their Premiership games and dominating this fixture with five victories in the last six meetings, so a win at the SMISA Stadium looks well founded. The both-teams-to-score no and under 3.5 angles lean on the defensive records: St Mirren have kept three clean sheets in four league games, and crucially they have found it hard to score against Celtic, netting just three times across the last six meetings. Celtic have also kept things tidy, with clean sheets in half their games. A controlled, low-scoring Celtic win to nil is the play here.
Camilo Duran and Benjamin Nygren over 1.5 shots on target15/4Camilo Durán has been electric for Celtic, scoring three times and racking up eight shots on target in four Premiership games as an ever-present, so over 1.5 shots on target is a strong pick for a striker firing at will. Benjamin Nygren matches him for form, also netting three and landing six shots on target across his four starts. Against a St Mirren side that will spend long spells camped in its own half, both Celtic men should pepper the target, which makes over 1.5 shots on target apiece a well-backed double at the SMISA Stadium.
