Motherwell has been a tough nut to crack at Fir Park lately, maintaining an impressive five-game unbeaten streak on home turf. Under Jens Berthel Askou, the Steelmen have developed a resilient identity, though a narrow 1-0 loss to Rangers recently ended a longer unbeaten run. Statistically, they average 1.56 goals scored per home match while conceding only 0.56. This defensive solidity is highlighted by four clean sheets in their last five games. However, they have struggled to find the net in three of those five matches, raising questions about their clinical edge. Can they rediscover their scoring touch against the champions? It is hard to say how this will end, but their 78% rate for over 1.5 goals at home suggests they usually find a way to make games interesting.
On the other side, Celtic seems to have finally turned a corner under Wilfried Nancy. After a disastrous start that saw him lose his first four games, the Frenchman has led the Bhoys to back-to-back victories against Aberdeen and Livingston. Away from home, Celtic is an offensive juggernaut, averaging 1.44 goals per match and scoring in five consecutive road trips. Their defensive record away from home remains a slight concern, conceding an average of 1.22 goals per game, which contributes to a 56% BTTS rate on their travels. Still, their attacking prowess is undeniable, having netted 10 goals in their last five fixtures. That is a bold move toward recovery, and Nancy will be leaning heavily on that momentum to bridge the gap to the top of the table.
This matchup presents a fascinating clash of styles between a disciplined home defense and a high-octane away attack. Motherwell will likely try to frustrate the visitors, but Celtic’s recent scoring form is difficult to ignore. With the visitors averaging 10.89 corners per away game and Motherwell seeing over 3.5 cards in 56% of their matches, expect a physical and set-piece-heavy affair. While Motherwell is strong at home, Celtic’s desperate need to chase down Hearts makes them dangerous. It will be interesting to see if the Steelmen can handle the pressure. Given the current trends, exploring Top Rated Premiership Predictions remains the best way to navigate this tricky Tuesday night fixture where both sides have everything to play for.
Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy is focused on maintaining momentum as the Scottish Premiership champions prepare for a crucial clash at Motherwell. While a five-goal victory could see Celtic leapfrog Hearts to reach the top of the table, Nancy remains committed to defensive improvement following a high-scoring thriller against Livingston. Expecting a physical yet technical challenge at Fir Park, the Frenchman aims to push his squad toward peak consistency.

Wilfried Nancy’s side has seen at least three goals in each of their last four outings, showing a clear tendency for high-scoring affairs. On the other hand, Motherwell averages 1.56 goals per game at Fir Park. Even though Motherwell has kept some clean sheets, the sheer volume of chances Celtic creates away from home (averaging 5.78 corners won) usually breaks down even the sturdiest defenses. When you combine Celtic's 56% Over 2.5 rate on the road with Motherwell's ability to punch above their weight at home, the ingredients for a high-scoring game are all there. It is a battle where the attackers are currently outshining the tactical setups.
