Celtic are looking to cut the 6-point gap at the top of the table with a crucial away win versus Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership. We're backing them to win, but how they do so is equally important. Let's get into our match prediction.
We see a convincing win for Celtic that should involve multiple goals. Form-wise, Celtic are with the winning momentum after taking five victories in their last six games. The only loss in that run was their latest game, and it just happened to be Hearts, the league leaders whom Celtic are now chasing.
Scoring multiple goals shouldn't be a problem, especially as Celtic are joint second-highest goal scorers (25) with two games in hand. The away side also travels to face a Dundee United squad that has conceded the fourth-highest goals (25) in the Scottish Premiership this season.
Celtic has now won ten of their 15 league games, and in that run, they have won seven games by multiple goals. Interestingly, all five of Dundee's losses in the league this season have been by 2+ goals. What's more, Celtic and Dundee have met three times this year, with The Bhoys winning all three games and the latest being a 5-0 thrashing of The Terrors.

Our Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction
With a league title to chase and a six-point difference, The Bhoys will be eyeing all three points against one of the worst-performing sides in the league right now. The Terrors are still winless in their last seven games and have also allowed the fourth-most goals in the league.
Celtic, who have five wins in their last six with the second-most goals, are perfectly poised for a multi-goal win over Dundee, just as they've done three times this year. Hence, our Dundee United vs Celtic prediction is that Celtic wins & over 1.5 goals.
