Celtic, Recent FormCeltic will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Hearts. During that encounter they had 71% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 5 shots on goal.
Ange Postecoglou will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 21 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 3 goals in that time. It's now been 27 games since they failed to score at home. A number of teams visiting Celtic Park have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 7 clean sheets.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 16 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Celtic Park in 39 league games.
When it comes to home matches at Celtic Park, Kyogo Furuhashi will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Celtic in their last 6 home games.
Hibernian, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 4-1 home defeat by Rangers, Hibernian manager Lee Johnson will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Rangers had 31 shots on goal with 11 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 15 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, Johnson will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Kevin Nisbet will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 6 goals in the past 6 league matches for Brentford.
After a good 0-4 win for Celtic in this pair's last league encounter, Hibernian will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Hibees defence has struggled at Celtic Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 12 visits. In their recent meetings Hibs have struggled to keep The Bhoys at bay, having conceded 15 goals in their last 5 games. In their past 5 meetings, The Bhoys' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Hibs will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Celtic has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Hibs in 13 games.
Celtic player James Forrest will be relishing this upcoming match against Hibs, given he has clocked up 3 goals in the past 3 league encounters between the two sides at Celtic Park.
With only James Forrest (Muscle) and James McCarthy (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ange Postecoglou will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Martin Boyle (Knee) and Aiden McGeady (Hamstring) being out for the rest of the season and Rocky Bushiri (Broken ankle), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Ankle), Kyle Magennis (Muscle) and Joe Newell (Hamstring) all unavailable in the shorter term, Hibs manager Lee Johnson will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
