⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams, a scenario with dominance from the Glasgow visitors can be anticipated. While Dundee have the potential to surprise at home with their scoring capability, the overall picture points to Celtic's superiority as league leaders. We are likely to witness a cautious approach from both sides, focusing on defending their goals-a strategy highlighted by the trend of under 3.5 goals in many of their previous encounters at Dundee's home ground. Based on these trends, it's reasonable to opt for under 3.5 goals.
