Celtic are looking to keep up their unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership with the final game of the weekend seeing the Hoops take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park just over two months since the two met at Celtic Park.
Kilmarnock vs Celtic prediction – Betting tips & odds
Tip – Celtic to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
- Celtic defeated Kilmarnock 3-1 back in October.
- The Hoops have now scored 41 league goals in just 16 games and not yet tasted defeat in the league.
Another reason that we have backed Celtic to win and over 2.5 goals in our Kilmarnock vs Celtic betting tips is because of how Celtic have seen only three of their league games see under 2.5 goals so far, while Kilmarnock have let in 16 and scored 16.
