Dundee vs Celtic Prediction
The Dee have won two of their last seven league games, with both coming away from home. They have failed to score in five of their last seven home meetings against the visitors and will look to improve upon that record.
Billy Koumetio, Scott Fraser, Jordan McGhee, and Antonio Portales are sidelined with injuries while Joe Shaughnessy remains a long-term absentee. Ziyad Larkeche and Finlay Robertson face late fitness tests.
The league leaders have enjoyed a great run of form and have won five of their last six league games. They have scored at least three goals in seven of their last 11 league games and will look to build on that prolific form.
James Forrest is a confirmed absentee and Daizen Maeda is also expected to sit this one out. Nicolas Kuhn was absent against Ross County and is a doubt. Brendan Rodgers is likely to make a few changes to the starting XI from their win over Ross County last week.
The reigning champions have been the dominant side in this fixture and, considering their current goalscoring form, the visitors should be able to record a comfortable win.
