Despite an even head to head record, it is unsurprising to see Celtic as the huge 1/10 favourites ahead of their FA Cup clash with League One’s Airdrieonians.
The defending Scottish FA Cup title holders are also top of the Scottish Premiership despite a 1-0 loss to Rangers in their last game of 2018.
Brendan Rodgers’ side come into this game having won three of their last four competitive games. In that time, Celtic have scored 10 goals and conceded four.
Airdrieonians arrive at Celtic Park with a similar record. They too have won three from their last four games and are up to 5th place in League One. The team led by Ian Murray has also shown they can score goals netting seven times in those last four games; conceding just twice.
In terms of the head to head record, both teams have recorded one victory. In 1998 Airdrieonians claimed a slender 1-0 win in the Scottish League Cup. Celtic got their revenge just a year later with a big 3-1 win in the FA Cup.
In terms of the obvious betting in a match of this context, Celtic are available at 9/5 on the -3 handicap. Alternatively over 3.5 goals is currently priced at 5/6.
However, the recommendation for this game is a 3/1 shot on the half time/full time market. Airdrieonians have the second best defensive record in League One and may have what it takes to keep the door shut until the half time whistle. However, Celtic should show their quality towards the end of the game and claim a comfortable win.
