Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | December 22nd 2024

Dundee United will host Celtic at the Tannadice Park on Sunday afternoon in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The hosts will look to get an increasingly unlikely result against the unbeaten league leaders this weekend.

Dundee have struggled to pick up points in recent weeks, with only two wins in their last eight league matches after winning five and drawing two of their previous eight. The visitors' fourth league defeat of the campaign came in a thrilling 4-3 loss away at Motherwell last weekend and they will hope to get back to winning ways when they host the champions on Sunday.

Celtic will be keen to pick up where they left off on their return to league action after a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Hibernian last time out. The visitors have only lost once in all competitions this season and have only dropped points in the league once in a 2-2 draw against Aberdeen in the eighth round.

The defending champions are nine points clear at the top of the league table and will be confident to widen their points gap this weekend.

Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction

Dundee United will be lucky to come out of this weekend’s fixture with a point. Their decent home record will hardly be enough to give them a fighting chance against a side with a perfect record on the road.

Celtic should cruise to an easy victory as a result of the gulf in quality and form between them and Sunday's hosts. The visitors' outstanding defensive record should be enough to give them a comfortable win when they make the trip to Dundee.

Prediction: Dundee United 0-2 Celtic
