Aberdeen vs Celtic Prediction: Brendan Rodgers’ men to book first final spot

Celtic will face Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final this weekend at the Hampden Park. The Dons will be looking to make their first final in this competition since they were defeated 2-1 by♛ Saturday's opponents in 2016-17, while the Bhoys are hoping to make it back-to-baꦍck Scottish Cup triumph.

Aberdeen are in good form and into this semifinal in high spirits, as they boast an unbeaten record of four games. In that span, Aberdeen picked two wins while drawing two and scored three goals while conceding one. In this Scottish Cup, Aberdeen defeated both Clyde and Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic 2-0 in their opening two Scottish Cup fixtures. In their most significant win, they defeated Kilmarnock 3-1 in the quarterfinal stage of this competition. In the meantime, this side has been less impressive in the league this season, as they are presently seated 9th, placing them in the relegation group, compared to their third-placed finish the previous year. In this game, Aberdeen will now look to give it their all, as they hope to finish this season on a high after a struggling season overall.

Celtic are the most successful side in the Scottish Cup, having won it 42 times. Brendan Rodgers’ side now sit atop the Premiership table after a 3-0 win over St.Mirren in their last game. However, Celtic will come into this game in high spirits as they look to secure two titles in this campaign. In the Scottish Cup, Celtic have defeated Buckie Thistle 5-0, followed by a 2-0 win over St. Mirren and then a 4-2 win over Livingston to reach the semi-final. Brendan Rodgers, who was in charge of this side for their doubles in 2016-17 and 2017-18, will now be looking to achieve this feat once again this season as they hope to make it to the finals.

Possible Aberdeen Lineup: Roos; Devlin, Cartenmann,🔴 Jensen, MacKenzie; Barron, Clarkson, Polvara; Duk, 🔜Miovski, McGrath

Possible Ce🌟ltic Lineup: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Nawrocki, Taylor; O'Riley, McGrego🧸r, Hatate; Kuhn, Idah, Yang

Celtic have not lost to Aberdeen in 24 encounters, and they will look to keep that record intact. On the other hand, Aberdeen have had their luck recently, but their weak attack could be the issue here. While Celtic have all the qualitꦺies needed on both ends of the field, I expect them to be able to win both halves of this game, with the total number of goals here hitting three at maximum.
