Scotland Premiership
Celtic start their title defense with a home match against St. Mirren, who, if nothing else, knows how to make things difficult for the favorites. After their failure in the Scottish Cup final at the end of last season, the "clovers" will be motivated to start the current season with a win and regain their confidence in front of their own fans.
St. Mirren will not give up easilyThe visitors scored a goal in their last two matches against Celtic, including the 1-1 draw in Glasgow in May. Furthermore, St. Mirren has scored a total of 12 goals in their last three League Cup matches and will certainly not play entirely defensively. This promises a dynamic and open match with opportunities at both ends of the pitch.
Prediction: Over 3.5 goalsI expect Celtic to dictate the pace in attack, but their defense has shown weaknesses - the team has conceded goals in their last five official matches from the previous season. Considering the current form and traditionally high-scoring matches between these opponents, over 3.5 goals seems like a logical choice for the start of the season.
