Hoops can handle the Dundee challenge
In this Celtic FC vs Dundee FC preview, Celtic are the strong favorites here at 1.21 and there is every reason to support the hosts in this one at Celtic Park, Scotland, but Dundee's transition game makes this look like anything but a walkover.
Martin O'Neill's side have played some solid soccer in recent weeks and the all-competition results of W6, D3 and L1 in their last 10 games represents a strong platform rather than a purple patch.
Celtic have drawn their last two games, first 1-1 against Middlesbrough and then 2-2 with AC Milan, so it's been slightly untidy of late, but our Celtic FC vs Dundee FC prediction is that they should get the job done here. O'Neill has Celtic playing a pragmatic game where they dominate territory and pressure their opponents, often attacking vertically from the wide areas and pressing relentlessly.
Dees could make life tough for Celtic
Steven Pressley has Dundee FC playing a sort of shape-shifting, compact system with wing-backs and a transition game that suits the team's personnel, but the visitors have been all over the place in recent games, and the Celtic FC vs Dundee FC betting tips lean toward the hosts.
The Dees lost 4-0 at home to Everton, drew 1-1 with Ross County and lost the shootout, before thumping Clyde FC 4-0 last time out and that run of games illustrates their inconsistent recent rhythm.
Dundee's all-competition away form is W1, D1 and L2 from four trips, but the 3.25 goals per game they've averaged on the road is helped by the fact that they have scored 13 goals.
Camilo the spark plug for Celtic
Camilo Duran is the spark for Celtic and the Argentinian has three of his side's eight goals in their last five games, which should ensure the hosts get the end product they need to win the game.
The odds on this game are heavily weighted towards a home win and with good reason as the Hoops have too much quality to be seriously troubled by Dundee FC at Celtic Park, but this Celtic FC vs Dundee FC prediction suggests Dundee can keep it tight and nick a goal on the break so we'll take a chance on a few goals. Over 2.5 comes in at 1.35, with Both Teams To Score almost even at No 1.95 and Yes 1.8.
