Hibernian's record over the same stretch reads nine wins, three draws and eight losses, with 29 goals for and 23 against. They've had decent moments in Europe but have been patchy domestically, including a League Cup exit and a home defeat to Kilmarnock.

Celtic go into this with far more momentum behind them.

Comparative Team Statistics: Hibernian vs Celtic

Head-to-head leans heavily towards Celtic

Looking back over recent meetings, Celtic have won the majority of them, sometimes by wide margins. There's a clear pattern of Celtic coming out on top in this fixture.

That said, Hibernian aren't strangers to an upset here. In February 2026 they won away to Celtic 2-1, and there was a goalless draw between the two sides back in September 2025, so it hasn't been entirely one-way.

Recent history favours Celtic, but Hibernian have shown they can cause problems occasionally.

League table tells a clear story

Celtic sit top of the Premiership with 18 points from seven games, winning six and losing just once, scoring 14 and conceding only four.

Hibernian are down in tenth with seven points from the same number of matches, winning twice, drawing once and losing four times, having already conceded 11 goals.

Goals are spread further at Celtic

Celtic's scoring load is shared around. C. Durán and B. Nygren have each contributed three goals and three assists in seven games, while K. Høgh has three goals from just four appearances. Yang Hyun-Jun adds another attacking option.

Hibernian's main threat in the data is M. Boyle, with three goals in six games, and C. Wright has added two. There isn't the same depth of scoring options showing up for them.

Celtic have more attacking options if their main players are kept quiet.

What this all points to

Put it together and Celtic arrive with plenty of confidence, sitting top of the table and scoring freely, while Hibernian have been shipping goals regularly.

One thing to remember is that this fixture is still a month away from when this data was gathered, so team news and form could well shift before kickoff.
