League leaders Celtic host Dundee United next in their chase for another Premiership title. This Wednesday clash finds Celtic on a four-point buffer at the league summit while Dundee United are three points above the bottom half. With nine wins in 10 league games ahead of this one, our prediction easily backs Celtic again.
There are lessons to be taken, though, from a number of Celtic’s recent matches, including their 2-1 win over Hibernian. The biggest of them is a defence struggling to keep clean sheets, with the Bhoys conceding in eight of their last 10 matches.
Celtic actually lost the last time they faced Dundee United in the league and have one clean sheet in their last three league meetings.
Dundee United have already suffered Celtic’s revenge from their win last season as the two faced off in August in the League Cup. They lost 4-0 on that occasion.
The Tangerines will still go into this encounter without fear, having won two of their last three league meetings with Celtic. The visitors were slow starters to the season but face Celtic having improved a lot from when they met in August.
They are unbeaten in the last five outings, winning three, but haven’t been at their best away from home. Dundee United have lost four of their last seven away games.

Our Celtic vs Dundee United Prediction
Celtic have the advantage here as they are playing at home, where they have dominated matches against Dundee United. They will not be very comfortable though, as Dundee United have in recent matches pulled surprises on them.
The fact that Celtic are also struggling to keep clean sheets is a concern for the hosts but the visitors will be looking to exploit that weakness. A poor away run might be Dundee United’s main undoing here. Our prediction for Celtic v Dundee United is for Celtic to win and BTTS.
