*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Aberdeen are coming off perhaps their most disappointing performance of the season, as they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against a Kilmarnock side that had previously not won in 17 games.
Peter Leven's troops have now lost five of their last six league matches, although they have won their last two home games across all competitions.
On the other hand, Celtic are coming off a 2-0 victory against Falkirk. They have won back-to-back games and are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches.
As things stand, Celtic and Aberdeen are second and seventh in the Scottish Premiership, respectively.
Considering Aberdeen's recent struggles, it is unsurprising that Celtic are the expected winners at 1/2 (1.50). Teams with these odds generally have a 66.7% probability of winning.

It is also important to note that there were at least 11 corners in five of the last seven encounters between these sides. Keeping in mind that five of Celtic's last seven matches went above the 10.5-corner threshold, over 10.5 total corners has an appealing look at 3/4 (1.75). That one has a 57.1% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: Celtic have bragging rights
Celtic were victorious in the last two encounters between these sides. They have lost only once in their last 33 H2Hs, and that defeat came in a penalty shootout.
Interestingly, Aberdeen have not beaten Celtic in the Scottish Premiership since May 2018.
