The visiting Celtic side should be favourites in this visit to Dundee, as the away team holds a 52 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Dundee form and stats
With 1 win, 4 draws and 11 defeats from their home games, Dundee are certainly not brimming with confidence. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Dundee fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Hamilton Academical game long ago, can be stopped today. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Dundee with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Livingston game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss.The Dundee crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Celtic here at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park in a Premiership match. Before that game, the home loss against Hearts with the scoreline 0-1.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of points are very slim. When Dundee have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 2 from two games. 1 defeat by at least two goals.
Dundee aren't scoring a lot here at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park with only 12 goals from 30 games. Dundee have conceded 30 from these games.
Celtic form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. Celtic have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.It's the second away game in a row for Celtic, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Dundee in the Premiership last time out. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Aberdeen.
As mentioned earlier, Celtic will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 13 wins (7 by two or more goals winning margin), 4 draws and 8 surprising defeats.
Celtic are not goal shy away from home, finding the net 26 times in 15 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Celtic as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
