SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Livingston’s clash with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
Livingston vs Celtic (Saturday, 15:00)
Celtic will look to secure back-to-back wins in the Scottish Premiership when they visit Livingston on Saturday afternoon.
It took five attempts, but Wilfried Nancy finally claimed his first victory as Celtic manager with a 3-1 win against Aberdeen last weekend.
Livingston, on the other hand, are sitting at the bottom of the table with just one league win to their name all season.
Over 1 Livingston Card
For the first leg of what will be a Bet Builder double, I’m keen to include a minimum of two Livingston cards.
Livingston have shown a lack of discipline throughout this season’s Scottish Premiership, evidenced by the fact they have averaged 2.59 yellow cards per game, not to mention they had a man sent off during their last home game against Dundee.
Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that David Martindale’s men have received at least two cards in 13 of their 17 top-flight fixtures this term, including six of their seven assigments at their West Lothian home.
With Celtic side expected to dictate the tempo of game, Livingston may look to deploy the dark arts to disrupt their guests’ rhythm.
Moreover, Celtic have drawn an average of 2.50 yellow cards per game from their opponents when playing away from Parkhead in this season’s Scottish Premiership.
Over 5 Celtic Corners
I’ll conclude the Bet Builder double by including over five Celtic corners. The Glasgow heavyweights have been the most prolific corner-winning side in the Scottish Premiership this season, averaging 7.06 flag kicks per game.
Under Nancy’s watch, Celtic have registered six and eight corners across their last two league outings, and they look well placed to repeat the feat against a Livingston side likely to sit deep, soak up pressure and look to counter.
It is also worth noting that Hearts and Rangers racked up nine and eight corners on their respective visits to this venue earlier in the season, with this Bet Builder landing on both occasions.
On top of that, this cards and corners combination has clicked in each of Celtic’s last two Scottish top-flight assignments.
When bundled up, the above-mentioned selections deliver solid value at 4/5 with bet365.
