Celtic<\/a> host Dundee United<\/a> at Celtic Park at 7.45pm on Wednesday, with the runaway Scottish Premiership<\/a> leaders chasing another home win to keep their grip on top spot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Celtic vs Dundee United predictions and betting tips side with the champions, who have won nine of their opening 10 Scottish Premiership games and look well placed to see off a Dundee United side that has at least arrived in form. Celtic sit top on 27 points, 12 clear of fourth-placed Dundee United, and have lost just once in the league all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Eadson expects Celtic to control this one at Parkhead and has found two selections built on their dominance at Parkhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we’re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Celtic to win and both teams to score<\/strong><\/td>6\/4 (Sky Bet<\/a>)<\/td>Celtic should have too much for Dundee United at Parkhead, having won nine of their 10 league games, but a clean sheet is far from guaranteed. United have scored in each of their last five league games, a run that includes a 3-0 win at St Mirren and a 3-2 win over Aberdeen. Celtic, meanwhile, have conceded in four of their last five matches in all competitions and kept only two clean sheets in five home league games. Sky Bet’s 6\/4 about a Celtic win with both teams scoring looks the stronger angle.<\/td><\/tr>
Over 14.5 total corners<\/strong><\/td>14\/5 (William Hill<\/a>)<\/td>When Celtic dominate at home they rack up set-pieces in bunches, and visitors to Parkhead routinely spend long spells defending. The hosts hammered Hearts 7-1 here earlier in the campaign and routinely pin opponents back for long spells. They have scored 13 goals in five home league games, a measure of how often they work the ball into dangerous areas. With Dundee United likely to defend deep and keep clearing their lines all night, a high corner count is firmly on the cards, and 14\/5 with William Hill about more than 14 in the match is the bigger-priced play.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Celtic go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Celtic go into the midweek round top of the Scottish Premiership on 27 points, having won nine of their 10 league games and lost only a 1-0 home game to Rangers<\/a>. They have scored 25 goals already and conceded just six, the meanest record in the division, one better than Rangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their last time out brought a 2-1 win at Hibernian<\/a>, a fourth victory in five, and at Celtic Park they have piled up 13 goals in five games, including a 7-1 rout of Hearts<\/a>. Four clean sheets in 10 underline how rarely they are breached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Dundee United go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dundee United arrive in encouraging shape, unbeaten in their last five and sitting fourth on 15 points. Their most recent outing was a 3-2 home win over Aberdeen, following a 1-1 draw at St Johnstone and a 1-0 home win over Hibernian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concern is the step up in class. United have won two and lost two of their five away games, shipping eight goals on the road, and have rarely found joy at Celtic Park.<\/p>\n\n\n

Recent league meetings have gone Celtic’s way at Parkhead, where they won 4-0 and 3-0 in the last two visits, but Dundee United have twice sprung home wins at Tannadice, 2-0 last March and 2-1 in December 2025, so the visitors will not turn up without belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celtic vs Dundee United score prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a gulf in class here, and even an in-form Dundee United should find Celtic too strong at Parkhead. United’s recent scoring run suggests they will find the net, but the leaders should still win comfortably. Score prediction: Celtic 3-1 Dundee United.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
