Celtic vs Motherwell: Predicted XI with Kyogo to start, CCV on bench

Celtic will be looking to make it three wins from three in the Scottish Premiership when they host Motherwell at Parkhead on Sunday.

The Hoops have started the season in impressive form, beating Aberdeen and Ross County in their opening two games.

Motherwell, meanwhile, have lost their first two matches of the campaign, going down 2-1 at home to St Mirren and 4-0 away to Dundee United.

Manager Ange Postecoglou is expected to make a number of changes to the team that beat Ross County last weekend.

Kyogo Furuhashi is likely to start up front, having come off the bench to score the winner against the Staggies.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is expected to drop to the bench, with Carl Starfelt partnering Moritz Jenz in central defense.

Predicted Celtic XI: Hart; Juranovic, Starfelt, Jenz, Taylor; O'Riley, McGregor, Hatate; Abada, Furuhashi, Jota.

Motherwell manager Steven Hammell is likely to stick with the same team that started the defeat to Dundee United.

That means Kevin van Veen will lead the line, supported by Stuart McKinstry and Ross Tierney.

Predicted Motherwell XI: Kelly; Mugabi, Lamie, Solholm; O'Donnell, Slattery, Goss, Penney; McKinstry, Tierney, van Veen.

The key battle in this match is likely to be between Celtic's attack and Motherwell's defense.

Celtic have scored six goals in their first two games of the season, while Motherwell have conceded six goals in their first two matches.

If Celtic can continue their goalscoring form, they will be confident of beating Motherwell.

Celtic are strong favorites to win this match.

They have a stronger squad than Motherwell and are in better form.

I predict Celtic to win 3-0.
