Dundee United take on Celtic in a clash where the home side still hold slim hopes of sneaking into the top-six Championship group. However, our prediction points toward a 3-2 away win as Michael O'Neill's men have been showing signs of improvement of late. Injuries to Pappoe and Sibbald weaken the hosts, who have taken 1.60 points per game at home, scoring 1.00 goal on average but conceding 1.20. Their matches have been lively, with 70% BTTS and an overall 3.00 goals per game in their last ten outings.
Celtic, meanwhile, are full of confidence after a convincing 3-1 win over Motherwell and continue to apply pressure on leaders Hearts. Despite missing Jota, Engels, Johnston, and Osmand, the Hoops retain depth and quality. The Hoops have averaged 2.20 points per game away, scoring 1.60 goals while conceding only 1.00. Their xG of 1.49 on the road reflects consistent attacking productivity, and they’ve kept 40% clean sheets away.
Head-to-head history strongly favours Celtic, who have won 25 of the last 33 meetings, with 64% of matches going over 2.5 goals. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win as our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals and BTTS (Dundee Utd BTTS hit rate is 70% in last ten match).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 12:30.
