Celtic take on the visitors Dundee in the round 28 match of Scottish Premiership. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 28th at Celtic Park (Glasgow).
Celtic, as usual, are in a battle for the Scottish Premiership gold medals with their fiercest rival, Rangers. And at the moment, they are trailing their opponent by two points in the table. They cannot afford any slip-ups. And it's unlikely that the team will allow that in their home game against Dundee FC. However, I highly doubt that the hosts' victory will be decisive. Yes, in December, Celtic thrashed this opponent away (3-0). But since then, they have played six rounds in the championship and secured only one significant victory. Moreover, recently they have even started to occasionally drop points. For example, let's recall the recent draws with Aberdeen (1-1) and Kilmarnock (1-1).

After the 0-3 defeat at the hands of Celtic at home, Dundee FC players have played nine matches in the championship: they have won three times, drawn twice, and lost four times. But they haven't suffered any heavy defeats during this period. Furthermore, the team is seriously competing for a place in the top 6 of the table at the end of the regular season. And currently, they are positioned in sixth place. Who were the teams Celtic recently dropped points against? Kilmarnock and Aberdeen? Well, Dundee FC also drew against them - 2-2 and 1-1 respectively.
The recent results of Celtic in the championship don't look convincing enough to be completely confident in a crushing victory for the hosts against a fairly solid mid-table team of the current season like Dundee FC, which haven't been losing heavily to anyone for a long time. Meanwhile, Celtic haven't been dominating opponents specifically in home league matches for quite some time. For Celtic, the main thing now is to secure another three points and not let Rangers get too far ahead in the table. And the championship distance is still long. They just need to keep winning and wait for their competitor's slip-ups. Well, and of course, the next head-to-head encounter. My prediction is for Dundee FC +2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Dundee to win with +2.5 handicap.
