Contents
Over 3.5 Goals
Celtic’s ferocious attacking power has allowed them to score an incredible 93 goals in 29 Premiership fixtures this season and a sizable 55% of those games have featured over 3.5 goals overall. 100% of the champions’ last four tussles in the division produced at least four goals and Celtic could cut loose again when they visit Ross County on Sunday. With that in mind, the first of our football predictions today recommends a stake on over 3.5 goals.
Oh Hyeon-gyu to Score Anytime
January recruit, Oh Hyeon-gyu, is starting to find his feet in Scotland and the talented attacker managed to find the net in two of his last three appearances in the Premiership for Celtic. You get the sense that the 21-year-old South Korean is about to embark on a strong finish to his maiden campaign in the Scottish top flight, and Oh Hyeon-gyu could make his mark again on Sunday. As such, our second Ross County vs Celtic prediction advises a stake on the forward to score anytime again.
