After the first game it's Celtic - Dundee 0-1 in points. Who will triumph in this second Premiership game of the season?

Celtic have less rest than Dundee in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa League game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Jablonec.

Dundee form and stats

Let's have a look at how Dundee performed last season in the Championship: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 9 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 49 and conceded 40 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 6 and lost 4 with 24/23 goals scored/conceded.

Dundee's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus St. Mirren that finished 2-2. The attacker Paul McMullan got a match rating of 7.35 in that game. McMullan hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times. The draw against St. Mirren came from a losing position. The Dundee manager J. McPake brought on Jason Cummings as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

A home win before that, celebrating 5-2 vs Forfar Athletic.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Dundee we find one game. Results are zero Dundee wins, zero draws and one defeat.
