Our predictions for Hibernian vs Celtic
Match Prediction: Hibernian 1-1 Celtic
Hibernian come into this match with a strong run of form, having secured three wins and a draw in their last five games. Their recent victories, including a convincing 3-0 win away at St. Mirren, suggest they are in good shape to challenge Celtic. Hibs have shown they can score goals and keep clean sheets, which could be crucial against a Celtic side that has had mixed results recently. Their attacking duo of Boyle and Bowie will be key in breaking down Celtic's defence.
Celtic, on the other hand, have had a more inconsistent run, with two wins and two losses in their last four games. Their recent 1-0 win against St. Mirren shows they can still grind out results, but the losses to Heart of Midlothian and Dundee indicate vulnerabilities. Celtic's attacking line, led by Maeda and supported by Kenny and Tounekti, will need to be at their best to overcome Hibs' solid defence. This match could be closely contested, with both teams capable of taking the win.
Hibernian's recent form has been impressive, with three wins and a draw in their last five matches. Their ability to secure victories both at home and away, including a 3-0 win against St. Mirren, suggests they are in good spirits heading into this game.
The only blemish on their record was a narrow 0-1 home loss to Rangers, but overall, their form suggests they can compete with top teams like Celtic. This confidence could play a significant role in their performance against Celtic.

Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between Hibernian and Celtic shows a competitive rivalry, with Celtic winning three of the last five encounters and Hibernian securing one. The most recent match ended in a 0-0 draw, indicating that Hibs can hold their own against Celtic.
However, Celtic's three wins, including a 3-0 victory, suggest they have the upper hand historically. This upcoming match could be another close contest given their recent performances.
Hibernian's predicted lineup suggests a solid defensive structure with Bushiri, Hanley, and Iredale at the back, which could help them contain Celtic's attack. The midfield, led by Mulligan and supported by Barlaser and the Caddens, will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo and feeding the ball to the dangerous attacking duo of Boyle and Bowie.
Celtic's predicted lineup indicates a strong defensive line with Ralston, Trusty, Scales, and Tierney, which should provide a solid foundation against Hibs' attack. The midfield trio of Engels, McGregor, and Hatate will be key in dictating play and supporting the attacking trio of Maeda, Kenny, and Tounekti, who will need to be clinical to break down Hibs' defence.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
Bowie vs Trusty: This duel will see Hibs' forward Bowie looking to exploit any gaps in Celtic's defence, particularly against the experienced Trusty.
Mulligan vs McGregor: The battle in midfield between Hibs' Mulligan and Celtic's McGregor could be pivotal, with both players known for their ability to control the game's flow.
Boyle (Hibernian): Boyle's pace and finishing ability make him a constant threat to Celtic's defence, and he could be the key to unlocking their backline.
Maeda (Celtic): Maeda's versatility and work rate in midfield will be crucial for Celtic, as he looks to create chances and support the attack against Hibs.
