↔️ Head to head
An examination of their past head to head results stretching back to 28/08/2022 reveals that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Dundee United.

There were also goals galore in those games, with 22 in all which averages out at 3.67 goals per match.

🗞️ Team News: Celtic
From a largely full-strength group, there is only a single fitness worry for the Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers to contend with. Liam Scales (Facial injury) won’t be in action.
🔮 Prediction
It looks to us that this Celtic should be in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of their chances.
Conversely, Dundee United will not find it easy getting goals but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring here as well.
We’re therefore anticipating a fairly comfortable 1-3 win for Celtic when the full-time whistle blows.
