Hibernian vs Celtic Predictions

Hibernian, managed by David Gray, sit 8th in the Premiership with 32 points from 26 matches as of February 22, 2025. Their last outing was a 2-0 loss to Dundee United on February 15, with Warren O’Hora’s own goal and Ross Graham’s strike ending a three-game unbeaten run (2W, 1D). At home, they’ve been inconsistent, winning 6 of 13 matches (6W, 3D, 4L), scoring 18 goals and conceding 16. Injuries to Lewis Miller (hamstring) and Marvin Ekpiteta (knee) persist, but Jake Doyle-Hayes returns from suspension. New signing Dwight Gayle from Derby County joins Mykola Kukharevych (6 goals) and Martin Boyle (5 goals) in attack. Their recent form includes a 2-1 Scottish Cup win over Forfar Athletic on February 11, and social media sentiment reflects cautious hope despite their defensive frailties (1.5 goals conceded per game).

Celtic, under Brendan Rodgers, lead the Premiership with 64 points from 26 matches. Their last league game was a 3-0 victory over Kilmarnock on February 15, with Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate, and Nicolás-Gerrit Kühn scoring, extending their unbeaten run to eight (7W, 1D). Away form is formidable (10W, 2D, 1L), with 35 goals scored and 11 conceded—the league’s best road attack. Injuries to Odin Thiago Holm (calf) and Maik Nawrocki (thigh) linger, but Cameron Carter-Vickers is back. New signing Adam Idah (on loan from Norwich) bolsters Furuhashi (12 goals) and Kühn (7 goals). Their Europa League draw (1-1 vs. Twente on February 13) maintains momentum, and social media buzz underscores their title favoritism and attacking prowess (2.77 goals per game).

Celtic dominate the head-to-head record (103W, 56D, 38L in 197 meetings), winning the last five, including a 2-0 victory on December 7, 2024, at Celtic Park via Hatate and Kühn. Hibs’ last home win over Celtic was in 2019 (2-0), and their last Easter Road victory in this fixture came in May 2023 (4-2). Hibs’ home resilience (1.38 points per game) meets Celtic’s road dominance (2.46), but Celtic’s form and historical edge make them heavy favorites. Hibs’ leaky defense (39 goals conceded) faces Celtic’s relentless attack, promising a stern test.
