Celtic vs Inverness CT Betting Tips: Celtic / over 2.5 goals

Celtic has been a dominant force in the Scottish Cup in recent years, losing only two of their last 30 matches in the competition since 2016. Rangers, their fierce rivals, were the only team to defeat them during this period. Moreover, Celtic has emerged victorious in four of the last six Scottish Cups, establishing themselves as a powerhouse in the tournament.

While Inverness CT managed to secure a thrilling 3-2 win against Celtic in the Scottish Cup back in 2015, the current h2h record heavily favours Celtic. They have emerged victorious in seven of their last eight encounters against Inverness.

Looking at recent form, Celtic finished their Premiership campaign in style with a resounding 5-0 victory, having suffered losses against both Rangers and Hibs in May. Restoring his first XI, Celtic showed their class in blowing away an on-form Aberdeen side.

Inverness, on the other hand, enjoyed a strong finish in the Championship, winning six of their last eight games. However, the gulf in quality between the two leagues suggests Celtic will surely have the edge come Saturday evening.

Both teams have shown a penchant for goals in recent weeks, which adds to the excitement surrounding this domestic final. Celtic has seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last four matches, while Inverness witnessed the same outcome in four of their last five games. This trend suggests that we can expect a high-scoring affair at Hampden.

Considering all the factors at play, it's safe to conclude that Celtic will emerge victorious in an entertaining Scottish Cup final with at least three goals scored. Their track record in the competition, recent dominance over Inverness, and their attacking prowess make them the overwhelming favourites. Inverness will undoubtedly put up a fight, but the quality and experience of Celtic should see them lift the trophy for a fifth time in seven years.
