Celtic form and stats

Only two Premiership home games for Celtic so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

The Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 245 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premiership.

Celtic enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Rangers's place. The match ended 1-0 with Furuhashi scoring. Midfielder O'Riley was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.82 (out of ten) in that game. O'Riley served one assist, hit two key passes and had 34 successful passes (of 40 total).

In the match before that, Celtic hosted St. Johnstone and drew the game 0-0.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Celtic have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 26 games found in the database showing 22 Celtic wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Celtic as they are travelling to their away game against Feyenoord in the Champions League. That match is three days after this one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Celtic at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Dundee form and stats

The Premiership season is young and Dundee have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to St. Johnstone (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 2-2. It looked so good for Dundee vs St. Johnstone, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Lamie, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.64. Lamie scored one goal and won 6 of 8 duels.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Hearts.

Dundee have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
