Celtic can run riot
Monday's game at Celtic Park could be one-way traffic if Celtic FC hit their groove in the final third. Martin O'Neill's side have been in good form in Scotland this season, but the last two games have been a little untidy, as Celtic came from behind to draw 1-1 with Middlesbrough and 2-2 with AC Milan.
O'Neill's Celtic FC have played an astute, front-foot game in those two games, pressing high and releasing players into space at speed from wide areas to exploit the sides of their opponents. However, the Scottish champions will need to tighten up if they are to beat Dundee FC, who are a compact, shape-shifting team with players in every area of the pitch.
Steven Pressley's team have had a mixed bag of results, so they approach Celtic with a record of won 5, drawn 1 and lost 4 in their last 10 all-competition matches. Dundee are coming off a run of three games that saw them lose 4-0 at home to Everton, draw 1-1 with Ross County (after penalties) and beat Clyde FC 4-0.
Dundee can’t get a foothold
Dundee have failed to win any of their last 3 away games against Celtic, but that's not a surprise given the venue has been their undoing this season. Pressley's men have scored 13 goals away from Dens Park, averaging 3.25 per-game.
Celtic have won 6, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their last 10 in all-comps, which is a solid platform, not a purple patch. The Hoops are the runaway favourites in the outright market at 21/100, which is rightfully so, but the odds should be a little looser in what is a mismatch.
Celtic are simply better at every position on the field and shouldn't have to work too hard for a win on Monday. However, Celtic have a player as strong as Celtic's attacking spark Camilo Duran, who has scored 3 of the Hoops' 8 goals in their last 5 games, so there will be some end-product to the hosts' play.
The goal markets are all over the place with Over 2.5 coming in at 7/20, Both Teams To Score at a near even No 19/20 and Yes 4/5, but we're going with Over 2.5 goals in what should be a home win for Celtic.
