This preview is shaped by two early signals: the table and the prices. Celtic took 3 points from their opener and Kilmarnock are chasing their first after one round. With the away win at 1.39 and the home price out at 7.00, the gap is hard to ignore.

Kilmarnock still carry a threat after scoring 3 in that opening match. Their recent return of 0.8 goals conceded across the last 5 results contrasts sharply with the 4 they shipped in round one. But Celtic's start was cleaner, and even with the away odds moving out from 1.33 to 1.39, the stronger angle for betting tips remains the visitors. The h2h conversation sits in the background; current form and league position matter more here.
