Match preview

Motherwell host Celtic on 11 October 2026 at 14:00 in a Scottish Premiership fixture that favours the visitors decisively. Celtic arrive as heavy favourites after winning six of their last ten away matches, conceding just 1.30 goals per game on the road. Motherwell's home form tells a different story: two wins, three draws, and five losses across their last ten, with an average of 1.70 goals conceded per outing. The prediction is Motherwell 0–2 Celtic.

Form and H2H

Celtic's superiority in this fixture is established. In their last six meetings between 2011 and 2012, Celtic won four times and drew once, with Motherwell's sole victory coming in February 2011. Celtic have scored freely in recent clashes, winning 4–0, 3–0, and 2–0 in three separate encounters. Motherwell's attacking output at home averages 1.10 goals per game this season, while Celtic's defensive record on the road sits at 1.30 conceded. The away side's profit trend for Over 2.5 goals stands at 1.34, suggesting goals flow when Celtic travel.

Best Bet

Back Celtic to win at 1xBet's 1.59 or 1Win's 1.59. Celtic's away form, combined with Motherwell's leaky defence and poor home record, makes the away win the clearest play. Both bookmakers price the same outcome identically, offering value on a team that has dominated this fixture historically and performs consistently on the road.

Odds to Watch

The 1xBet home win at 4.68 and 1Win's 4.64 reflect Motherwell's genuine vulnerability at Fir Park. A draw prices at 4.4 with 1xBet and 4.49 with 1Win, unlikely given Celtic's recent form. Under 2.5 goals carries appeal given Motherwell's attacking limitations, though Celtic's away record suggests they will create chances. Monitor team totals and shots on target markets for Celtic's expected dominance in possession and shooting volume.
