Celtic, Recent FormWhen Celtic last played in the league they faced Kilmarnock and produced an outstanding 5-0 away win. They came away from that fixture with 75% of the possession and clocked up 30 attempts on goal with 12 on target. By comparison, Kilmarnock managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 18 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 33 of their 37 games this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 8 league games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Celtic Park, Kyogo Furuhashi will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
St Mirren, Recent FormSt Mirren will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Hearts, which ran out a 2-2 draw. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Hearts who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Stephen Robinson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for St Mirren, Toyosi Olusanya will be looking to add more goals against Celtic in this match.
After a good 3-0 win for Celtic in this pair's last league encounter, St Mirren will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Buddies defence has struggled at Celtic Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 26 visits. Ahead of this match, The Buddies won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Celtic in their last 2 meetings. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, The Bhoys have shown they know their way around the St Mirren defence having scored 15 times against them in those 5 matches.
Celtic has won the last 3 games they've played against St Mirren in the league.
With only James McCarthy (Hamstring) and Adam Montgomery (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Brendan Rodgers will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Despite Jonah Ayunga (Knee) being out for the rest of the season St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
