Celtic start their League Cup defense with a home game against Falkirk and will seek to quickly establish superiority. The team has an impressive series of 12 wins in their last 13 matches in the tournament, including four consecutive wins at home, and they have convincingly won their last three matches against this opponent.
Home dominanceFalkirk enters the match after a shaky start in the league and a 3-1 defeat in their visit to Livingston. Although they achieved impressive results in the group stage of the tournament, it will be much harder for them to find a breakthrough against a team with the quality and experience of Celtic. The hosts usually approach these matches with full concentration and rarely leave room for surprises.
Prediction: Celtic to win both halves and keep a clean sheetThe difference in class and the statistics from the recent encounters suggest that Celtic can impose control from the first minutes and maintain the initiative until the end, without allowing Falkirk to score.
