📊 Match recap and data context

Celtic won 1-0 at St. Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership, landing our model's 40 percent pick for a Celtic victory. The hosts, winless in their last five matches, were held scoreless despite St. Johnstone's recent tendency to feature both teams scoring in 67 percent of games. Celtic's attacking setup proved decisive in a low-scoring contest that broke from their recent pattern of both-teams-scoring outcomes. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
