Our predictions for Hibernian vs Celtic
Match Prediction: Hibernian 2-2 Celtic
Hibs are coming into this match with a solid run of form, having won three of their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, bagging two or more in four of those matches, and their recent victories against Dundee and St Mirren suggest they're in good spirits.
Celtic, on the other hand, have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride, with two losses in their last five but also some convincing wins. Their attack has been potent when it clicks, but they'll need to be wary of Hibs' recent scoring form.
This game could be a close affair, with both teams capable of putting on a show. Hibs will look to exploit their home advantage and continue their scoring streak, while Celtic will be eager to bounce back from their recent losses and assert their dominance. It's likely to be a tactical battle, with Hibs' recent defensive solidity tested against Celtic's attacking flair.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Hibernian
Hibs have been in fine fettle lately, winning three of their last five games and showing a knack for scoring goals. Their recent victories against Dundee and St Mirren, both by multiple goals, indicate they're in good shape heading into this match.
The only blip was a narrow loss to Rangers, but overall, their form suggests they'll be confident going into this game against Celtic. If they can maintain their attacking momentum and keep their defence tight, they could give Celtic a real run for their money.

Celtic
Celtic's recent form has been a bit up and down, with two losses in their last five games, but they've also shown they can be ruthless when they get going. Their wins against St Mirren, Kilmarnock, and Falkirk were all by comfortable margins, showcasing their attacking prowess.
However, the losses to Heart of Midlothian and Dundee will be a concern, and they'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to come away with a positive result against a confident Hibs side. Celtic's ability to bounce back will be crucial in this match.
