Celtic vs Dundee Prediction
Celtic heads into this match as the clear favorite, especially considering their dominant home performances and Dundee’s struggle in the lower half of the league table. With Celtic boasting an impressive possession average and Dundee showing defensive vulnerability, particularly in the 15-30 minute window, the hosts are well-positioned to exploit any early lapses in Dundee’s defense. Nicolas Kühn’s playmaking ability could be crucial for Celtic, while Dundee’s Simon Murray might create chances if Celtic shows any defensive gaps.
Given Celtic’s form and offensive power, a home win seems the most probable outcome. Dundee’s high BTTS rate could mean they’ll find the net, but Celtic’s superior quality and home-field advantage are likely to seal the three points in a high-scoring affair.
