Just two sides remain in contention to win the Scottish Cup this term. Celtic will be chasing an illustrious domestic treble, while Inverness will be bidding to win a historic piece of silverware at Hampden Park.
Scottish Cup Final Preview
It has been a thrilling edition of the Scottish Cup throughout this season, but only two sides remain in contention of winning the illustrious honour. Celtic will be the clear favourites in the betting, as they have already picked up the SPL and Scottish League Cup this term.
The Scottish champions enjoyed an excellent run in this competition between 2016 and 2020, winning all four editions of the event. However, they are without a victory in each of the previous two editions. However, Celtic hasn’t lost a Scottish Cup final since 2002, which is a staggering record in one-off games. They come into the final in excellent form, as they ended their SPL campaign with a dominant 5-0 home win over Aberdeen.
Inverness will be chasing history in the competition this year, as they have only reached the Scottish Cup final on one previous occasion. That feat was achieved back in 2015, as they landed a famous 2-1 win over Falkirk. However, they will certainly have their work cut out against Celtic this weekend.
Inverness will be massive outsiders in the betting, as they could only finish sixth in the second-tier in Scotland. They reached a second final late last month, as they registered a 3-0 win over Falkirk. However, they could be slightly rusty coming into the final, as they have played just once this month.
Celtic vs Inverness Head to Head
Celtic has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won 21 of the previous 29 meetings. This will be the first clash between the sides since Celtic recorded a 4-0 win in March 2017. Across the previous three encounters, Celtic has scored 13 goals and are yet to concede.
Celtic vs Inverness Prediction
The recent meetings between these sides highlight how much of a mismatch this final is. Celtic holds a dominant record, and we would be incredibly surprised to see the Scottish champions fall to defeat this weekend. We expect Celtic to win the Scottish Cup final by at least a three-goal margin.
