The top two sides in the Scottish Premiership table are set to come face to face in a blockbuster showdown on Saturday when first-placed Celtic host second-placed Aberdeen at Celtic Park.

Both teams are joint at the top of the standings with 21 points after seven fixtures, with the hosts edging out the visitors thanks to a superior goal difference.

We say: Celtic 2-1 Aberdeen


Both teams have enjoyed phenomenal starts to the 2024-25 season and we expect this game to be an incredibly hard-fought clash between two sides aiming to extend their unbeaten start in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic have not lost in this fixture since May 2018, and with them boasting the home advantage, we expect they will extend that streak with a narrow win here.

Aiming to continue their strong start to the 2024-25 season, Dundee United will host Hibernian at Tannadice Park on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts are fifth in the table with 12 points from seven outings, while the visitors are 10th in the league with just five points from their first seven fixtures.

We say: Dundee United 2-0 Hibernian


Dundee United have enjoyed a much better start to the season than their visitors, who have lost both of their last two outings, leading us to believe the hosts will win this one.

Still searching for their first league win of the campaign, Hearts will host St Mirren at Tynecastle Park on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts are bottom of the table with two points from eight outings, while St Mirren sit sixth in the standings with eight points from their eight league games.

We say: Hearts 1-2 St Mirren


While we anticipate an improved performance from Hearts in their first game under Critchley, the visitors have had a much stronger start to the season, leading us to believe they will win this one.

Motherwell will host Dundee at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon for their eighth match of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season, looking to build on their strong start to the campaign.

The hosts are fourth in the league with 13 points from seven outings, while the visitors are eighth in the division with six points from their opening seven games.

We say: Motherwell 2-1 Dundee


The hosts are in undeniably better form than their visitors heading into this game, winning all of their last three outings while Dundee have lost their last four, suggesting a win for the hosts.

All of Motherwell's past five matches have ended with 2-1 scorelines, four of those being victories, and we believe that pattern will continue with a 2-1 win here.

Two sides aiming to end winless streaks come together on Saturday when 11th-placed St Johnstone host seventh-placed Ross County at McDiarmid Park in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts are on a seven-game winless streak heading into this game, while the visitors are coming into this match without a win in their last three outings.

We say: St Johnstone 0-2 Ross County


Although Ross County's form has declined compared to their early-season results, they are the favourites heading into this match due to St Johnstone's dismal record in recent outings, including six losses in their last seven games, leading us to believe the visitors will secure the victory.
