Dundee Utd v Celtic Tips

Celtic is a dominant club under enormous pressure after losing three consecutive matches, culminating in a 3-1 defeat in the Scottish League Cup final. This is a must-win game for manager Nancy.

Dundee United have played Celtic the last five times and never scored in anger at home or away. One was a 0-0, and this might happen tonight at Tannadice Park. Celtic's new manager, Wilfried Nancy, has won all three games he has been in charge of, and Celtic have seven players out, two on international duty. With Celtic underperforming, Dundee United could be making this their ninth draw of the season. That may see 0-0 once more, making it six games without breaking Celtic's defence.

I really fancy Dundee United here at home. Celtic fans have no faith in Nancy, and the three results so far are pointing towards disaster. United got a draw at home to Rangers recently. Celtic have looked fragile and lack confidence since the new appointment. There's value in the hosts.

The last two head-to-head meetings have both produced more than two goals, highlighting a clear trend toward high-scoring encounters. This pattern is further supported by Celtic’s recent form, as each of their last three matches has also finished with over two total goals. With both head-to-head history and current momentum aligning, this fixture strongly points toward another game with more than two goals.

Dundee Utd have scored 10 goals in their last 8 home games. In all competitions, Dundee Utd have conceded 8 goals in their last 3 games. Predict both teams to score.

Recent trends suggest Celtic should come out on top once again. Their overall quality and league position give them a clear edge, as they sit near the top of the table while Dundee remain in the lower half. However, Celtic’s defense has not been flawless lately, having conceded goals in their last two matches. With Dundee capable of taking advantage of that and Celtic’s attack still firing, this fixture looks set for a Celtic win with goals coming from both sides.

In all competitions, Celtic have lost their last 3 games. Dundee Utd will cause the Celtic defence all sorts of problems. Celtic have scored 8 goals in their last 7 away games. I predict a win for Utd and both teams to score.
