Dundee United vs Celtic Glasgow Betting Predictions and Odds
Celtic already thinking about Ferencvaros?
Match: Dundee United – Celtic Glasgow
Competition: Scotland Premiership
Date: 08/22/2020
Betting Prediction: Handicap: Home win +1.5
Odds: 2.2
Stake: 6/10 units
Celtic Glasgow can play again. After the “Bhoys” from the Scottish Premiership were banned from playing for almost two weeks due to breaches of the hygiene concept, the reigning champions will celebrate their comeback on the national level next Saturday.
As part of the fifth matchday, there will be a duel between Dundee United and Celtic Glasgow. According to the odds of the best bookmakers, the green-whites are the clear favorites in the game, although the home side have so far been able to achieve satisfactory results. With seven points from the first four encounters, the “Tangerines” have temporarily settled in fourth.
Coach Neil Lennon’s team has to settle for sixth place after four points from two matches. In particular, the 1: 1 in Kilmarnock around two weeks ago came as a surprise in that the industry leader was also considered a big favorite back then. To make matters worse, from the Glaswegian point of view, they will be challenged again in the Champions League qualification on Wednesday.
Under these conditions, it can make sense to adjust the prediction for the guest victory between Dundee United and Celtic Glasgow. For example, we assume that the defending champion’s success will be a maximum of one goal ahead. Alternatively, bets can be made that both teams will score at least one goal.
Dundee United – stats & current form
For four years, Dundee United fought to return to the Scottish House of Lords. In the past season the time had finally come. At the time of the cancellation, the Tangerines led the ranking in the second division with 14 points and thus earned promotion to the Premiership.
The start into the new division was also very promising for the Orange-Blacks. On the first four match days, the promoted team suffered only one defeat. Two matches were victorious and there was also a 1-1 draw against St. Johnstone. As fourth, the protégés of trainer Micky Mellon, who only took over the job at the beginning of July, can definitely be satisfied with the start.
A decent start to the season for last year’s second division champions
In general, the “Terrors” are not a typical climber in the classic sense, who see the primary goal as staying in the league. In the short to medium term, the club, which before the surprising relegation in 2015/2016 never performed worse than fifth in seven of eight seasons, wants to re-establish itself in the upper half of the table on the Scottish floor.
For this, an improvement in their own stadium is essential, because while Dundee won both previous games abroad, at home, as mentioned, only one point jumped out. But that doesn’t change the fact that we trust the still euphoric champions from 1983 in the “most important game of the year” to keep the action open for as long as possible.
With a good defensive compactness – the Swiss goalkeeper Siegrist has never conceded more than one goal in four games – we consider a tip on the guest success with a maximum of one goal advantage between Dundee United and Celtic Glasgow to be lucrative.
Probable formation of Dundee United:
↳ Siegrist – Spörle, Reynolds, Connolly, Freeman – Pawlett, Butcher, Harkes, Bolton – Clark, Chalmers

Celtic Glasgow – Statistics & current form
International business has been a top priority for Celtic Glasgow for many years. In the past, this was not necessarily due to the fact that European success was more important to them, but solely because there was no great competition at the national level, at home. It was only with the rise of arch-rivals Glasgow Rangers that there was at least some tension in the Scottish Premiership, although the “Bhoys” are still the measure of all things.
The start of the new season did not go as planned for the defending champion. On the first day of the match, the green-whites won 5: 1 against Hamilton, before they had to be satisfied with a 1: 1 in Kilmarnock a week later. The trend from the previous season thus continued. Already in the canceled 2019/2020 season, Celtic missed dominance again and again in a foreign country.
Celtic’s focus is on Champions League qualification
Although twelve of the total of 15 away games were victorious, there were often only narrow results in favor of the Lennon team. We expect the same on Saturday evening in Tannadice Park, especially since the focus of the “Bhoys” is already on the Champions League again. Next Wednesday there will be an important qualifying match against Ferencvaros in their own stadium.
In view of the fact that the coach may spare one or the other high performer in order to be able to bring up his best team in the third game within seven days (Celtic won 6-0 against Reykjavik during the week), between Dundee United and Celtic Glasgow the odds on the handicap (+1.5) in favor of the home side the most attractive value.
Probable formation of Celtic Glasgow:
↳ Barkas – Taylor, Ajer, Jullien, Frimpong – McGregor, Ntcham – Elyounoussi, Rogic, Forrest – Ajeti

Dundee United vs Celtic Glasgow Betting Predictions by PicksSoccer Experts
As part of the fifth game day, the game Dundee United vs Celtic Glasgow. The betting odds clearly point in the direction of the reigning champions, which, however, does not cause much surprise. The White-Greens have all the advantages on their side, but because of a game ban, they will only play the third match of the new Premiership season at the weekend.
In the first two games, the “Bhoys” conceded one goal each. In addition, it was only enough to draw in the only away game so far. In connection with the fact that the Lennon-Elf had to play in the Champions League on Wednesday and will be challenged again in the premier class next Wednesday, we consider a runaway victory for the favorite to be unattractive.
Key Facts – Dundee United vs Celtic Glasgow tips
⭐️ Dundee started well with seven points from four games
⭐️ For Celtic it is one of three games within seven days

In addition, because the newcomer from Dundee started the season well with seven points from four matches and can also focus fully on the home game against the industry leader, we decide between Dundee United and Celtic Glasgow for the tip that the guests win with a maximum of one goal.
