Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Saturday’s Scottish Cup final fixture:
Aberdeen v Celtic – Saturday, 3pm
- This is the first time Aberdeen have made it to a Scottish Cup final since their 2-1 defeat to Celtic back in 2017, the Dons also head to Hampden Park off the back of four consecutive defeats in the Premiership.
- There’s a bit of frustration from the Aberdeen faithful having lost the last game of the season away to Dundee United, resulting in the Dons dropping from fourth to fifth and now enter the UEFA Conference League via the qualifiers, but victory in this one would lift the mood a lot.
- That’s easier said than done though for Aberdeen, as they’ve failed to beat Celtic in any of their last thirty games across all competitions, with their most recent defeat against the Bhoys coming just ten days ago, 5-1 against arguably Celtic’s second string side.
——————————– - Celtic have the chance to make it three Scottish Cup wins in a row on Sunday, having won this trophy in their last two seasons, this is also an opportunity for the Bhoys to claim a domestic treble one again.
- Despite having the league wrapped up pretty early, Brendan Rodgers side have maintained their high standards towards the back end of the season, they head to Hampden Park unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions.
- As mentioned, Celtic are unbeaten against Aberdeen in their last thirty-games over the years, whilst they’ve won each of the last four meetings, scoring at least five goals in three of those four, it’s hard to see anything other than another Celtic win here.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Celtic To Win, Aberdeen 1-3 Celtic.
