Dundee

DLDWLL

Dundee won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 4-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against Aberdeen.

In that match, Dundee managed 37% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Aberdeen had 20 attempts at goal with 9 on target. Jesper Karlsson (22', 63'), Adil Aouchiche (30') and Emmanuel Gyamfi (33') scored for Aberdeen.

Dundee have been quite ineffective in attack in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 vs opposing sides during the course of their last six outings. In those games, Dundee have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them come to 10.

Their previous form shows that Dundee:

• have not won against Celtic in their last 42 league matches. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Celtic

WWDDLW

Celtic come into this encounter following a 3-2 Premiership win in the defeat of Motherwell in their last game.

In that game, Celtic had 62% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 9 on target. For Celtic, goals were scored by Kelechi Ịheanachọ (28'), Benjamin Nygren (69') and Daizen Maeda (92'). Motherwell got 5 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos (40', 56') scored for Motherwell.

Going into this one, Celtic have not been beaten in their last 6 away league matches.

👥 Head to head

A quick look at their past head to head results stretching back to 26/12/2023 reveals that these fixtures have been miserable for Dundee. They’ve not managed to get themselves any victories whatsoever while Celtic have remained in the ascendancy, beating them in 83% of those ties.

A lot of goals were also scored during this period, 28 overall at an average of 4.67 goals per meeting.

ℹ️ Team News: Dundee

The Dundee manager Steven Pressley has a full complement, with no fitness worries to speak of before this game with a completely healthy group to pick from.

We think that The Dark Blues could kick off with a 4-3-3 formation in the match, handing starts to Jon McCracken, Ryan Astley, Clark Robertson, Luke Graham, Imari Samuels, Paul Digby, Ethan Hamilton, Drey Wright, Cameron Congreve, Simon Murray and Joe Westley.

ℹ️ Team News: Celtic

With a completely healthy squad ready to go, the Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers doesn’t have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this clash.

We are inclined to think that The Bhoys will likely utilise a 4-3-3 formation, settling for Kasper Schmeichel, Tony Ralston, C. Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, Marcelo Saracchi, Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor, Luke McCowan, Sebastian Tounekti, Kelechi Iheanacho and M. Ange Balikwisha.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Dundee should be able to breach the defence of this Celtic side, however a single goal is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 1-2 advantage for Celtic at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
