Dundee vs Celtic Prediction: A must win game for the road team

Dundee and Celtic will compete in this Scottish Premiership championship group game at the Dens Park. The last time these two teams met, Celtic ran riot in a dominant 7-1 win. Can Dundee get a revenge win here, or will Celtic take charge again?

Dundee - WWLDD

Dundee are coming off the back of successive goalless draws, and in this one, the hosts will hope to find some luck. In their last league games, Dundee remain winless with a defeat at the hands of Motherwell, while they played to draws with Aberdeen and Rangers in midweek. In the meantime, in the first phase, Dundee had 44 points from 33 league games this season. In that run, the hosts scored 44 goals while conceding 54.

Celtic - WWDWW

Celtic are on the back of a Scottish Cup win over Aberdeen. In that match, Celtic settled for a 2-2 draw at regular time, and despite taking the lead in the extra time through Matt O’Riley, Celtic struggled to keep up, and they could only see themselves concede in the last minute, with Angus MacDonald striking for Aberdeen. However, Joe Hart was the hero in the penalty shootout, as he saved the 7th penalty of the match, having just lost also for his side. In their last league game, however, Celtic played St. Mirren, and they won that game 3-0. Ahead of this game, Celtic are seated at the top of the Scottish Premiership with 78 points from 33 matches, scoring 80 times while conceding 26 goals.

Head-Head Statistics

The last five meetings between these sides saw Celtic win. In those games, the visiting team scored at least three goals, hitting seven numbers the last time they faced in late February.

Expert Betting Tips

Celtic have had a good performance at this stage of the league, and they will come here hoping to remain at the top level. Dundee has nothing to lose here, having forced themselves into the championship group, and a spot in Europe looks impossible anymore. Celtic have dominated this fixture, scoring many goals in the majority of matches. This should be another easy job for Brendan Rodgers’s men, and I expect them to win each half of this game with a two-goal margin at full-time.
