The Championship Round showdown between Hibernian Women and Celtic Women is set for May 14, 2025 at Meadowbank Stadium. Kick-off is at 18:00 BST (UK), which translates to 19:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain.
League leaders Hibernian Women host a confident Celtic Women side aiming to close the gap in the standings. With both teams showcasing attacking flair this season, spectators can expect an exciting encounter under the spring skies.
How are both teams coming into this?
Hibernian Women have been in fine form, suffering just one defeat in their last eight matches. Their unbeaten home record in the Premier League 1 has been built on a well-organized defence and a potent attack that averages nearly two goals per game.
Meanwhile, Celtic Women have enjoyed mixed results on the road, alternating wins and draws in recent fixtures. They are unbeaten in three but have struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding at least once in each of their last five away outings.
Our forecast
Given Hibernian Women’s impressive home form and defensive solidity, we favour a narrow victory for the hosts. We anticipate a tight first half, with the breakthrough likely coming after the interval.
That said, Celtic Women’s counter-attacking threat should not be underestimated. A 2-1 win for Hibernian Women appears a realistic scoreline, with both teams on target but the hosts claiming the critical points.
