Over their past six games alone, the sum total of 21 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game) with 16 of them being chalked up by Celtic. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained here.

📋 Team News: Celtic
We are thinking that The Bhoys will possibly use the 4-3-3 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Kasper Schmeichel, Colby Donovan, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Marcelo Saracchi, Arne Engels, Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Luke McCowan, Daizen Maeda and Hyun-Jun Yang.
🗞️ Team News: Dundee
From a largely available group of players, there is just the one fitness problem for the Dundee boss Steven Pressley to contend with. Isaac Pappoe (Knee injury) won’t be in action.
We reckon that The Dark Blues will likely make use of a 3-4-3 formation, starting Jon McCracken, Luke Graham, Clark Robertson, Imari Samuels, Drey Wright, Yan Dhanda, Ethan Hamilton, Finlay Robertson, Cameron Congreve, Simon Murray and Joe Westley.
🔮 Prediction
We’re thinking that Celtic should get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
At the same time, Dundee won’t find it easy to score but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be converting at least once here, too.
Our tip is for a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Celtic after 90 minutes.
