Dundee Utd vs Celtic Prediction (17.12.2025)

Dundee United may not have a win in seven consecutive league matches, but four draws during this period show that the team remains difficult to break. Especially at home, they rarely collapse completely and more often manage to keep the matches competitive, even when they are not in optimal form.

Celtic seemed to start finding their rhythm with a series of victories, but the subsequent results sharply changed the picture. The loss to direct competitor Hearts, followed by a heavy defeat in the Europa League and elimination from the cup, inevitably affects the team's confidence. Even if they are looking for a quick reaction, their current state does not suggest an easy and convincing success.

Given the hosts' resilience and the inconsistencies in Celtic's camp, I expect a contested match. Even if the visitors manage to win, it seems more likely to be by a narrow margin. Therefore, I am leaning towards the Dundee United +1.5 handicap, which covers a scenario with a draw or a loss for the hosts by no more than one goal difference.
