Celtic vs Aberdeen August 2022: Match Preview, Lineup, and best Predictions

Celtic, the current Scottish Premiership champions, will kick off their 2022/23 campaign against Aberdeen on Sunday, hoping to kick things off with a bang.

In this post, we will give you all the latest team news, possible lineup, prediction, and h2h for the Celtic vs Aberdeen match. In the previous season, the visitors were involved in a fierce battle for the title, and they will be anxious to prevent similar occurrences.

Celtic had a memorable 2021-22 campaign, having finished as champions, four points ahead of Rangers, that they’ll be looking to replicate this season.

The Scottish giants dominated the league throughout the season, having lost only three matches and displaying a variety of attacking prowess.

Celtic went on to score 92 goals in 38 matches, which is more than any other club in the division, and they have continued to score two goals or more in every of their summer pre-season fixtures so far.

Ange Postecoglou’s side has made Celtic Park a stronghold all through the 2021-22 season, losing only one game, which should give them plenty of conviction this weekend.

The club demonstrated their abilities once again in their recent preseason outing, defeating Norwich City 2-0, giving them a flawless pace ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

Aberdeen finished 10th in the Scottish Premiership last season, a position they will be keen to avoid this season. The team suffered a gradual deformation as they keep descending the table. They believed “this is a time to bounce back”. We’ll keep our fingers crossed and see to that.

The Dons started struggling in the second half of last season, getting weighed down into battles with St Johnstone and Dundee, but they came out ahead by avoiding the bottom two spots.

Only six points differentiated them and the Saints on the Scottish League table, demonstrating how close situations were, and likewise, the performances in away fixtures are nothing to write home about as they only managed to win two away fixtures.

Regardless of the challenges faced by Aberdeen in the last campaign, they have begun the 2022-23 season with a bang, having won all four Scottish League Cup group matches.

Jim Goodwin’s team did well not to have conceded any goal in all the fixtures, while also scoring 12 goals to demonstrate their abilities on both ends of the field.

Celtic vs Aberdeen Team News

Celtic turned down a transfer bid for Stephen Welsh, which means he will be available to feature in the game for Celtic this Sunday, which is a positive for the squad.

Kyogo Furuhashi will be among the most dangerous scoring options during this whole match, especially after struggling with injuries during the previous season.

Aberdeen have recently put in solid performances, and as a result, Goodwin has a lot of options to choose from considering the number of players who are available, willing, and ready to mount the pitch against Celtic.

This season, the Dons’ squad has been bolstered by the additions of Bojan Miovski, Luis Lopes, Jayden Richardson, Ylber Ramadani, and Cal Roberts, which might result in several new faces being used in this match as they are keen on a bigger and better impact ahead of next season.

Celtic vs Aberdeen Prediction

Aberdeen have put in some outstanding performances over the last week, with Goodwin demonstrating that his team is able to improve significantly from last season’s outing.
We, however, do not see this game as a tough one at all. Despite a series of preparation and reformation by Aberdeen, we see Celtic comfortably winning the match

Celtic are expected to be a title contender again this season, and the Hoops should be able to pick up 3 points on Sunday.
