Premiership, played Wednesday, January 8th, 2025
Here is our Celtic v Dundee Utd tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Celtic home win. Our confidence in this tip was high relative to other tips.
Celtic bounced back from their recent 3-0 mauling at the hands of their Old Firm rivals Rangers on the weekend when they registered a 3-0 win of their own against St Mirren at Celtic Park and The Hoops will hold home advantage once again on Wednesday night when they play host to Dundee United.
Dundee United's impressive three-match winning streak in the Scottish Premiership was brought to a sudden halt when they were handed a 1-0 loss at home by lowly Hearts but nevertheless, the upcoming visitors still remain in third place in the Scottish top flight table.
The recent 3-0 loss at the hands of Rangers became Celtic's first defeat of this current Premiership season but having seen off St Mirren in comprehensive fashion last time out, Brendan Rodgers' side will be supremely confident that they can get the job done at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.
Celtic still remain unbeaten on home soil at Celtic Park as the league leaders have secured nine wins and a draw in their 10 home games so far this season and it is interesting to note that each of Celtic's nine victories at home this term have also seen The Hoops keep clean sheets as well.
Celtic have won 18 out of their last 20 home games.
Dundee United were dealt a 1-0 defeat at home to Hearts on the weekend in a game which The Tangerines would have fancied taking all three points from but nevertheless, Jim Goodwin's side still remain in third spot in the Scottish Premiership table which is a great achievement so far, considering they were only promoted back to the top flight at the end of last season.
Dundee United had previously collected three league wins on the trot in the domestic top flight having registered important victories against the likes of St Johnstone, Aberdeen and an impressive 2-1 comeback win against their city rivals, Dundee, in the recent local derby.
The visitors have produced a steady sequence of results in the Scottish Premiership in recent times as The Tangerines have suffered just two defeats in their last 11 matches overall which were dealt out to them by Motherwell and Hearts but also includes picking up five wins in the process as well.
Results away from home have also been fairly encouraging for Dundee United as the visitors have been dealt just two losses in their 10 outings on the road but they have gained just four away wins so far this term and they will be up against the runaway league leaders here.
Celtic v Dundee United Verdict
Having swept aside St Mirren 3-0 in convincing fashion on Sunday, Celtic look set for further success here as well as a possible clean sheet.
Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.80

Celtic win & BTTS No @ 2.00
