Dundee United
LDLWWW 📈
Dundee United, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-0 Premiership victory against St Johnstone.
In that game, Dundee United managed 45% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Dundee United was Emmanuel Adegboyega (25'). On the other side, St Johnstone got 15 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.
Dundee United haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 matches.

Team News: Celtic
Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers to be concerned about. Liam Scales (Facial injury) won’t be playing here.

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.
