Celtic to lead at the break

Celtic have a tendency to start strong, and because of that, they usually draw first blood; the Bhoys bagged the first goal in eight of their last nine games in all competitions. Because they tend to score first, Celtic led at the end of the first half in four of their last five games. It’s worth noting that Celtic have always dominated Dundee; they’ve won their last five meetings with Dundee, and they have no losses in their last 25 encounters, with 21 wins and four draws. Moreover, the Bhoys drew first blood in all of the last five clashes between these sides; they also led at half-time in four of those five meetings. On that note, we’re predicting that Celtic will lead at half-time.

Someone will fail to score

Celtic have had the best defense in the Premiership this season; they conceded just 15 goals (six fewer goals than Rangers, who are second in terms of goals conceded). The Bhoys kept four clean sheets in their last six games. On the other hand, most of Dundee’s recent goals came in the Scottish Cup; they failed to score in five of their last eight league games. Also, Dundee have had a hard time scoring against Celtic; they blanked in eight of their last nine meetings with Celtic. With this in mind, at least one of these teams should blank.

We’ll see at least three goals

Dundee FC have been involved in their fair share of low-scoring games; six of their last 10 games went below the 2.5 goal margin. However, we would like to point out that all of those 10 games went under 3.5. Although Celtic have been the highest scoring team in the Premiership this season, 10 of their last 13 league games went under 3.5. It’s been the same case with clashes between these sides; as 10 of their last 14 meetings saw less than four goals scored. For this reason, our final prediction for this game is under 3.5 total goals.

Celtic vs Dundee: Team News

Celtic

Celtic’s nine game winning streak ended against Bodø/Glimt in the Europa Conference League; that was their first loss in 18 games across all competitions. The Bhoys will look to bounce back from that disappointing loss as Dundee come calling; it’s worth keeping an eye out for Liel Abada.

Dundee

Dundee FC defeated League One side Peterhead in the Scottish Cup a few days ago; they’ve won their last two games, and they’ve lost just once in their last six games. James McPake’s men will hope to upset league leaders Celtic today; will Danny Mullen be able to provide the goals?
