Dundee Utd vs Celtic Prediction: Dundee Utd could stun league leader Celtic

When Celtic takes on Dundee United on Sunday, they will be doing all in their power to solidify their position at the top of the standings in the Scottish Premiership. At the moment, the away team has a nine-point lead over their closest competitors, Rangers. Meanwhile, home team Dundee Utd is coming off an impressive 3-0 home win over Stirling University in the Scottish Cup.

After Jack Ross was let go from his position as head coach, Liam Fox was given the opportunity to step into that role two days later, and it didn't take long before the decision was taken to give him full control of the team. After then, Fox has posted a record of seven wins and eight losses throughout their last 19 matches, with their greatest play over an extended period of time occurring since November 9. The Terrors are currently three points above the team that is currently in last place in the league after collecting eleven points from their most recent eight league matches. Since play resumed, Dundee United have only experienced a single loss, which occurred during their match against Rangers at their own stadium. However, they did move on in the Scottish Cup after their most recent match, thanks to a 3-0 victory over Stirling University.

Celtic were not at their best when Scottish football began after the World Cup; they only won their first two games by a margin of one goal each, and then they had to fight their way to a 2-2 tie with Rangers. On the other hand, in the four matches that Celtic has played since the Old Firm derby, all of which have taken place on their own turf, they have scored 13 goals and did not concede. Ange Postecoglou can't help but be impressed by his team's progress, despite the fact that they have not competed against any teams ranked higher than seventh-placed St. Mirren. The Bhoys have gone unbeaten in their last 12 matches in all competitions, while they have done so in their last 15 matches when simply counting their matches in the Premiership League. They will also go back to Tannadice for the first time since they humiliated their opponents there with a 9-0 scoreline at the end of August.

Given their recent strides toward progress, Dundee United will enter this matchup with a sense of optimism and confidence. Still, Celtic is just as much of a threat, and we think it will be easy for them to get another three points when they come to Tannadice.
