Celtic vs St Mirren Prediction: Hoops to end season with a 3-0 Home Win @ 8/1

It’s the 38th and final round of what has been another entertaining Scottish Premiership campaign. Celtic hit the front early and never looked back, leaving the chasing pack choking in their dust. Brendan Rodgers’ champions wrap things up with a home match against St Mirren, but the Hoops have an upcoming Scottish Cup final and potential treble in mind. Sky Sports Main Event from 12:30 for this one on Saturday lunchtime.

Betfred’s Scottish football writer, Frank Monkhouse, has guided followers to some memorable wins, including an astonishing number of correct scores. There’s room for one more profitable Sunday as he previews this one and gives us his best Celtic vs St Mirren Predictions...

Celtic finished their away campaign with a stunning win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Followers of the Premiership will remember Aberdeen stood toe-to-toe with Celtic at the top of the league in the opening exchanges, before Jimmy Thelin’s men fell off the pace.

If fans needed a reminder that Celtic are the best team in Scotland, they got it in the Granite City on Wednesday. The Hoops eased to a 5-1 win at Pittodrie thanks to five different scorers, including Luke McCowan and Adam Idah. It’s now time to celebrate in Glasgow.

St Mirren achieved their goal for this season by securing a top-six finish. Pundits were interested to see how much enthusiasm Stephen Robinson’s Saints had for the final five games. To the surprise of many, St Mirren make the short trip from Paisley to Glasgow on a four-match unbeaten run, taking eight of the dozen points available, including a 2-2 home draw with Hibs in midweek.

Celtic vs St Mirren Odds

With the champions playing at home, there are no real surprises in the pre-match betting odds available at Betfred. Traders expect the locals to round things off in style by adding another win to their already stunning tally.

Celtic boast stats of 29 wins, four draws, and four defeats with 111 goals scored and just 25 conceded. Their post-split results show one draw and three wins. Do you expect Celtic to win and move onto 94 points? You can bet on the home win at 2/9 on the Betfred app and site.

Win, lose or draw, it has been a remarkable season for St Mirren, and they deserve full credit for pushing hard all the way to the finish line. The visitors are sixth in the table with 49 points on the board, but unlike their opponents, St Mirren still have something to play for on Saturday.

Victory in Glasgow could lift them above Dundee United and into fifth place. That would be a remarkable achievement for a manager operating on a tight budget. You can take a chance on a St Mirren win at 12/1 or try the draw at 13/2.

Over 2.5 goals

Our first bet is for Saturday’s game at Parkhead to produce three or more goals. With this approach, it doesn’t matter which team wins the points, who scores the goals or the timing. As long as there are more than two goals scored by both teams combined, your wager is a winner. It’s a bet that’s best suited to your weekend accumulators, and the stats are on our side as we prepare for kick-off.

Backing over 2.5 goals would’ve landed you a profit in each of Celtic's last two outings. Since fighting to a 1-1 draw at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby, Celtic have thrashed Hibs 3-1 at this venue before dismantling Aberdeen 5-1 on the road in midweek. It was also the correct play when St Mirren drew 2-2 with Hibs on Wednesday, shared four goals with Rangers and beat Ross County 3-2. Follow the trends and hope this game lives up to expectations.

Celtic 3-0 St Mirren

Regular followers of my Scottish Premiership preview and predictions for Betfred know we’ve enjoyed some fantastic correct score winners on both Celtic and Rangers this season.

Calling the final score exactly in a match is no mean feat, but the rewards are worth winning. I’ve found that if you do your research and trust the numbers, you’ll find more winners than losers. Let’s try to sign off with another.

We’re backing Celtic 3-0 St Mirren at odds of 7/1 and there’s more than enough value to merit a play for small stakes. Interestingly, backing 3-0 in this fixture was a smart bet in four of the previous seven renewals.

Celtic put three goals past their opponents without reply when St Mirren were last in town. Two of the three meetings this season have produced a 3-0 win, and the Bhoys netted three goals in five of seven versus St Mirren.
