Celtic v Aberdeen: perfect-start hosts meet visitors looking to respond | OneFootball

Celtic face Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park on Wednesday, 2 September 2026, with the leaders aiming to extend a flawless opening and the visitors seeking a reaction after defeat.

Celtic have dominated the recent head to head, with 30 wins to Aberdeen's one and seven draws across the listed meetings. That backdrop adds edge to a fixture the Glasgow side have controlled for years.

The Bhoys arrive on three league wins from three, scoring eight and conceding two. The Dons opened by beating Hearts before back to back league losses at Dundee and at home to Rangers.

The Hoops' season profile points to control and supply: 61% possession, 89.08% passing accuracy, 55 total shots and a 50.91% shot accuracy. Three headed goals and strong crossing volume underline aerial threat. Up front, Kasper Hoegh leads the Premiership scoring chart with three, while Camilo Durán and Benjamin Nygren are on two apiece. Kieran Tierney has two assists.

The Dons have averaged 49% possession with 73.31% passing accuracy and have been busy without the ball, winning 58 aerial duels and making 108 clearances. They may look to disrupt wide service and limit deliveries, while the Hoops could target crosses and second balls in the area.

A win would move the Bhoys to 12 points and maintain their perfect league start. Victory for The Dons would take them to six points and could lift them from 10th up the table.
