Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by Matthew Newman in Scottish Premiership Predictions
Sunday will see Dundee United at home to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. The Terrors are 5th in the league table while the visiting Bhoys are top. Let's get stuck into this one with a prediction!
Dundee United have won four of their eight home matches so far, keeping things relatively tight at the back. Only Celtic and Rangers have conceded fewer times on their own patch in the entire division.
Rangers and Motherwell are the two teams who have left Tannadice with the full points. A five-game unbeaten run came to an end with a 3-4 defeat at Motherwell in their most recent game.
Celtic have been perfect away from home this season, winning all eight of their games and only conceding two in the process. Ross County and Hearts are the only two teams who have managed to score at home to Celtic. Ross County's goal was a penalty and Hearts scored after 82 minutes.
Borussia Dortmund are the only team all season to beat Celtic. Celtic have managed to keep two clean sheets away from home in the Champions League to go along with their six in the league.

Our Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction
This might be a touch tighter than the market suggests. Dundee United are only conceding a single goal per game at home on average this season. Rangers only won 1-0 at Tannadice so it would not be a surprise if this is a similar type of game.
Celtic have only conceded twice away from home and only four times all season in 15 league games. That suggests that Dundee United are going to find things hard here. Our Dundee United vs Celtic prediction is Celtic win to nil.
