Celtic vs Dundee United Prediction and Betting Tips | January 8th 2025

Celtic will face Dundee United at Celtic Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have performed brilliantly well in the Scottish top flight this season and remain atop the league table with 53 points as they target a fourth consecutive title.

After a deflating 3-0 defeat to rivals Rangers in their opening game of the year, Brendan Rodgers' men recovered in convincing fashion as they beat St. Mirren 3-0 featuring goals from Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn and former Sheffield United man Auston Trusty.

Dundee United have also enjoyed a remarkable campaign upon returning to the top flight and are making a surprise push for the Championship round. They were, however, beaten 1-0 by Hearts in their game on Sunday and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the contest.

The visitors sit third in the Premiership standings with 34 points from 24 matches and will be looking to return to winning ways against the champions this week.
