As mentioned in my Preview article https://www.celtictrends.com/post/preview-celtic-v-aberdeen Aberdeen's NP xG was on a downward spiral and their average per game for the last 6 games was 0.93 and they have been under 1 for 5 games now.
Also mentioned was Celtic's NP xGA and that it was down to 0.63 currently.
The game played out to plan with Aberdeen having just 0.1 of NP xG in the game. 0.06 from open play, 0.05 from set play and 0.79 of their xG coming from their penalty.
