Celtic vs Dundee United Prediction: Celtic remain a solid side to win this game

Celtic Park will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Celtic and Dundee United. Heading into this game, the two teams are coming off a defeat and will hope for a better result here. Which team wins this game? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities. 

Celtic

Celtic's last encounter was in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich and they lost. In a 1-2 contest, Michael Olise and Harry Kane's strikes were enough to see their opponent take maximum points, as Daizen Maeda's strike could not salvage a draw for them. However, in their last league contest, this team played Dundee FC, pulling off a 6-0 win. In 25 matches played this season, Celtic have 66 points, leaving them top of the standings. In those games, this team scored 73 goals, the most by a side, and conceded 12, the fewest this season.

Dundee United

Dundee United's last league encounter was against Kilmarnock and they lost. In a 1-0 contest, Marley Watkins' strike was all their opponent needed to secure maximum points. In the meantime, Dundee United have lost their last three league games, the first two against Rangers and Dundee FC. In their recent matches, Dundee United have won only one of their last six matches, coming against St. Mirren. This season, from 25 matches, Dundee United have only 37 points, which positions them third in the standings. In that run, this team scored 32 goals and conceded 28. 

Expert Betting Tips

Dundee United have been a very decent side this season but their recent performances have not been impressive. While Celtic lost to Bayern in the Champions League, I expect them to respond in this game with a win. However, looking at the better team for the job and the quality in their squad, there is no doubt Celtic will annihilate their opponent.
