Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Celtic to win<\/strong> and over 3.5 goals<\/strong><\/td>6\/5<\/td>Celtic are overwhelming favourites and have the firepower to run up a big score. They scored 73 goals last season, comfortably the most in the division, and have flown out of the blocks this term with six goals in their opening two games. Falkirk offer little resistance for a bet like this, having conceded 62 last season and failed to score in either of their first two matches. Celtic have won the last three home meetings by an aggregate of 9-1, including 4-0 and 3-1 scorelines, so a comfortable home win packed with goals is firmly on the cards.<\/td><\/tr>
Kasper Hogh and Benjamin Nygren to score anytime<\/strong><\/td>11\/4<\/td>Both are in red-hot form and central to Celtic’s attack. H\u00f8gh has been electric early on, already firing three goals in his first two appearances from a heavy 13 shots, and he leads the line against a Falkirk defence that ships goals freely. Nygren is equally dangerous, following a superb 16-goal haul last season with two more in his opening two games this term. With Celtic dominant at home and creating chances in abundance, both frontmen are strongly fancied to add to their tallies and get on the scoresheet.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Celtic go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Celtic opened up with a 5-1 win at Kilmarnock and, having had a fixture postponed, will be fresh and eager at home. Anything but a comfortable win would be a shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The champions are loaded with quality and ruthless at Celtic Park. A big home win is the clear expectation against a promoted side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Falkirk go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Falkirk earned a creditable goalless draw at Motherwell but a trip to Celtic Park is a different proposition entirely. Damage limitation may be the realistic aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newcomers are organised and will battle, but the gulf in quality is vast. Keeping the score respectable would be a decent afternoon’s work.<\/p>\n\n\n
