Celtic vs Dundee United Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Sridhar in Scottish Premiership Predictions
The rescheduled matchday 11 of the Scottish Premiership gives Celtic a chance to strengthen their lead at the top of the standings as they host Dundee United. This match on Wednesday at Celtic Park sees the league leaders, the Bhoys, welcome the third-placed Tangerines, and our prediction is a home win.
Celtic has 53 points from 20 matches and has a 13-point lead over the second-placed Rangers, while Dundee is third with 34 points from 21 matches. The hosts defeated St. Mirren 3-0 at this venue last Sunday, helping overcome their 3-0 loss to Rangers in the previous match.
That defeat to Rangers remains their only loss this league campaign, but more importantly, they remain a strong force at home. Celtic won nine of their last ten home league matches, each time keeping a clean sheet.
Dundee lost 1-0 to Hearts at home on Thursday, their first defeat after winning three consecutive matches. The visitors are only four points ahead of third-placed Motherwell, and they can’t afford any more slip-ups. They did win their last two away league matches, both by a 2-1 scoreline, but their recent poor record against Celtic is a concern.
The teams drew 0-0 earlier in this season, but that was preceded by three consecutive wins for Celtic in the Premiership.

Our Celtic vs Dundee United Prediction
The loss to Rangers in their first match of 2025 seems to have spurred Celtic, as was evident in a 3-0 win against St. Mirren. They should look to continue their strong form with another win against Dundee United, although the visitors held them to a 0-0 draw earlier in this campaign before last Christmas. The challenge is to replicate this form on the road, which looks hard on current form. This game looks interesting in the win-plus-goals market, and our prediction for Celtic vs Dundee United is Celtic wins and under 4.5 goals.
