SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Dundee’s Scottish Premiership clash with Celtic on Sunday afternoon.
Dundee v Celtic (Sunday, 12:00)
Dundee and Celtic will lock horns in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Sunday lunchtime.
Steven Pressley will be looking for a response from his side after they suffered a bruising 4-0 loss away at Aberdeen a fortnight ago.
As for Celtic, they will be looking to build some momentum following their late 3-2 win over Motherwell last time out.
Celtic to Win
While Celtic’s performances have been unconvincing this season, their superior class should tell against Dundee on Sunday afternoon. Moreover, Brendan Rodgers’ side are just one of two teams that have yet to taste defeat in this season’s Scottish Premiership.
The Bhoys have banked maximum points from five of their opening seven league games of the season, a sample that includes wins away at Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.
As for Dundee, they will come into this clash off the back of back-to-back defeats away at St Mirren and Aberdeen, and it would be fair to say that the Dark Blues can expect an even stiffer challenge when the champions come to town.
Both Teams to Score – No
For the second leg of the Bet Builder, I’m going to include BTTS No. Celtic have been keeping clean sheets with impressive regularity in this season’s Scottish Premiership, silencing their opponents in five of their opening seven league games of the campaign. What’s more, all bar one of those shutouts have arrived in four of the Hoops’ five victories, and there is plenty of scope for a repeat at Dens Park on Sunday.
Dundee have been one of the most shot-shy teams in this season’s Scottish Premiership, netting just six goals across their eight outings to date. That can be attributed to the fact the Dark Blues have blanked in 50% of their top-flight matches, including each of their last three defeats.
Over 3 Celtic Corners
I’m going to conclude the Bet Builder by backing Celtic to earn a minimum of four corners. The Glasgow giants have been consistently strong on the corner front again this term, earning an average of 7.57 in this season’s Scottish Premiership, covering the 4+ line in each of their seven assignments so far.
Dundee’s pragmatic style under Pressley has coincided with them conceding an average of 6.50 corners per 90 in the Scottish top-flight this season, with six of their eight opponents to date earning a minimum of four flag kicks.
