Match Facts

Wednesday 4th February

Scottish Premiership

Pittodrie Stadium (Aberdeen)

Kick-Off: 20:00pm GMT

The stage is set for a thrilling encounter at Pittodrie Stadium as Aberdeen hosts Celtic in the Premiership. Recent form suggests that Celtic is the team to beat, but Aberdeen's determination cannot be underestimated. However, were beaten 3-0 by Kilmarnock in their last fixture and still sit down in 7th in the league.

The Pittodrie Stadium will be electric on Wednesday night as these two teams clash. The home crowd will be eager to see their team pull off a major upset, while the visitors will be looking to extend their strong recent record at the stadium.

Celtic have seen an upturn in both performances and results since the return of Martin O'Neil as interim manager following the sacking of Wilfred Nancy. And after leapfrogging Rangers into second place, they will be hoping to properly put the pressure on leaders Hearts.

The double chance of a draw or Celtic win looks the most likely outcome given recent trends. However, the beauty of football lies in its unpredictability and anything can happen on the night.
