Scottish Cup Final with a clear favourite

Στην κατάκτηση του 7ου συνεχόμενου πρωταθλήματος έφτασε η Σέλτικ πριν από λίγες εβδομάδες, για ακόμα μία σεζόν με χαρακτηριστική άνεση. Ακολούθως έριξε ταχύτητα στα δύο τελευταία της παιχνίδια (ήττα 0-1 από Κιλμάρνοκ και ισοπαλία 0-0 με Αμπερντίν), με τον αποψινό τελικό του FA Cup να είναι το τελευταίο μεγάλο παιχνίδι της σεζόν για την ομάδα του B.Rodgers. Χωρίς τους επιθετικούς L.Griffiths και O.Edouard θα παρατάξει τους «Κέλτες» ο Άγγλος τεχνικός της ομάδας, παραμένει εκτός και ο μέσος J. Hayes.

Celtic took its 7th Championship a few weeks ago quite easily for another season. Afterwards, they lowered their speed in the last two games (defeat 0-1 against Kilmarnock and draw 0-0 against Aiberdeen), with tonight FA Cup final being the last big game of the season for B.Rodgers' team. The English technician will play with the absence of attackers L.Griffiths and O.Efouard, while mid J. Hayes is out too. 

Motherwell came 7th at regular season and ran at relegation's play-offs. In this phase they started as the best team and finished at top, though their opponents' level that faced the last 1,5 month is quite lower that Celtic's. C.Tanner, their second best scorrer who remains out from March  loses today's final, as well as defeater P. Hartley.

Two teams run again in the League Cup's final 6 months ago, with Glasgow's team win 2-0. In Championship, two games at Motherwell's Fir Park didn't have a winner, while Celtic won 5-1 at Celtic Park. There is a quality difference at tonight's final and I am waiting for a Celtic's win by 2 or more goal. Handicap -1.5 for Celtic is my bet.
