Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership
by James | in Scottish Premiership Predictions
Scottish champions Celtic travel to Dundee United this weekend for their first Scottish Premiership match in two weeks. Celtic had two games postponed after defender Boli Bolingoli flew to Spain, didn't quarantine, then played in a match. It leaves them playing catch-up on their title rivals. Rangers and Hibs are both on ten points after four game, six points ahead of Celtic in sixth, as Neil Lennon's side won one of their matches and drew the other. Dundee are fourth in the table with seven points from their four games. Their two wins thus far have both come on the road with neither of their Tannadice Park fixtures resulting in victory. Celtic have played competitive football since their last domestic outing, battering KR of Iceland 6-0 in a Champions League qualifier. That pummeling took place at Celtic Park. The Bhoys failed to win their only away fixture of the campaign, a 1-1 draw at Kilmarnock.
Celtic have found wins against Dundee United easy to come by in recent years, claiming victory in their last seven matches. That sequence includes four matches at Tannadice Park. Home advantage has done little to help Dundee against Celtic since the very first ball was kicked in a match between the teams, Celtic winning 30 of their 43 away games against Dundee. In more recent outings, there have been plenty of goals, the last six games featuring at least three. With so much attacking taking place, there is a chance that penalties will be awarded. Five of the last ten meetings featured a referee pointing to the spot. Fouls in the box often result in card punishments and at least one player has been sent off in the last three meetings. Three of Dundee's four matches this season have featured fewer than three goals, the common denominator side averaging one goal per game. We see Celtic winning this one again with a clean sheet.

Our Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction
A slip-up at Kilmarnock aside, Celtic have started the season sharply, scoring goals for fun. We see this theme continuing at the weekend and also expect them to keep out a less-than-deadly Dundee attack. Back Celtic to win with a clean sheet.
