Aberdeen's formation was 4-2-3-1, and Celtic's was 4-3-3. The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Celtic win, which proved accurate. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, correctly anticipating Celtic's dominance. Celtic had a significantly higher team rate (0.826) compared to Aberdeen (0.382). The pre-game win probabilities were 18.7% for Aberdeen and 61.2% for Celtic, further indicating Celtic as strong favorites.
Analyzing recent form, Aberdeen has struggled, losing most of their recent matches, including a heavy defeat against Celtic just prior to the end of last season (1-5), and another against Hearts at the start of this season (2-0). Their next game is against Falkirk on 2025-08-31 at home, where they will need to improve their performance. Falkirk also had a poor result in their last game. Historical head-to-head data between Aberdeen and Falkirk is quite old (last match in 2010), making it less relevant for predicting the upcoming game.
Celtic, in contrast, won their previous league game against St Mirren (1-0), but lost in a friendly against Ajax (5-1), and drew against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup. Their next game is at home against Livingston on 2025-08-23. Livingston are in better form than Aberdeen and Falkirk, with a recent win.
The previous head-to-head games between Celtic and Livingston are significantly in favor of Celtic, who have won most of the recent encounters comfortably.
Comparing this game to the previous matches between these two teams: Celtic won 5-1 against Aberdeen earlier this year, so the 2-0 win in this game indicates that Aberdeen improved their defense. Celtic's performance in this match aligned with their consistent dominance over Aberdeen in recent encounters. In this game Celtic had 13 total shots, compared to just 6 for Aberdeen.
The AI is predicting a Celtic victory on August 10, 2025, as they face Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium. The Scottish Premiership clash sees the AI give Celtic a 61.2% chance of winning, against Aberdeen's 18.7%. A draw is deemed 20.1% probable. Aberdeen's recent form is concerning; they've lost four of their last five games, including a heavy defeat to Celtic. Their last game was a 2-0 loss to Heart of Midlothian. In contrast, Celtic won against St Mirren in their last match. Celtic's rate is 0.826, suggesting a strong team, while Aberdeen's 0.382 indicates they are the weaker side.
Celtic's midfield maestro, Callum McGregor, is expected to control the game's tempo. Upfront, Kyogo Furuhashi's finishing ability could prove decisive. Looking at their recent head-to-head games, Celtic has clearly dominated Aberdeen, with a 5-1 victory back in May. However, the Scottish Cup game finished 1-1. With Celtic's proven talent and superior form, the AI's prediction seems reasonable. Aberdeen will need a significant performance boost to defy the odds and secure a positive result. The home support will be crucial for Aberdeen.
