Celtic v Inverness CT

Celtic vs Inverness CT Preview

The Scottish FA Cup final will also be played on Saturday evening and features this upcoming clash between the Scottish league champions, Celtic, and their Championship counterparts, Inverness CT, when the two sides meet at Hampden Park to fight for the right to lift the domestic cup trophy.

Despite suffering recent losses to their Old Firm rivals, Rangers, as well as Hibernian, Celtic still romped to yet another domestic top flight league title by a margin of seven points over runners-up, Rangers, and Celtic will be looking to add another domestic trophy to their already heaving trophy cabinet on Saturday evening.

These two recent defeats have been Celtic's only slip-ups in their previous 29 matches in all competitions which is indeed an impressive record, whilst The Hoops have also picked up no fewer than 24 victories in the process, so it's fair to say that Ange Postecoglou's side look to be firmly in the driving seat heading into this cup final.

Celtic have disposed of Greenock Morton, St Mirren, Hearts and old rivals Rangers on their way to this final, whilst also scoring a total of 14 goals in these preceding four cup-ties.

Inverness finished in a mid-table position at the end of the Scottish Championship regular season and given the gulf between the Premiership and the second tier of Scottish football, Inverness find themselves as rank outsiders to lift this season's FA Cup trophy at Hampden Park.

However, that's not to say that the second tier outfit do not have a chance here; indeed, Inverness have lost just once in their last nine matches in all competitions along with picking up seven wins in the process, so they will still fancy their chances of causing what would be a huge upset on Saturday.

Inverness have reached this season's final by virtue of recording victories against Stirling Albion, Queen's Park, Livingston, Kilmarnock and Falkirk, also scoring a total of 14 goals in the process and conceding just three in reply, so they'll certainly give it a good shot at Hampden Park.

Celtic v Inverness CT Verdict

Celtic will be eyeing off another domestic trophy here and there seems to be little that Inverness can do to prevent The Hoops from lifting this season's FA Cup especially as the champions are fresh from securing another league title along with having held the upper hand in previous meetings against Inverness CT.

Celtic have won seven of the previous eight encounters while six of these last eight meetings have also produced four goals or more, so the value is with the goals market in this fixture.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 3.5 goals @ 1.73

Other side bets worth considering:

Celtic win & Over 3.5 goals @ 1.90

Correct score: Celtic 3-1 @ 11.00
