Celtic open their Premiership title defence at home to a Dundee side that arrives with mixed preparation. The hosts are coming off a preseason heavy on friendlies - results that carry limited weight - while Dundee's competitive outings in the League Cup showed both firepower and vulnerability, conceding 7 in 5 recent matches. Celtic's home crowd and structural quality make them overwhelming favourites at 1.20.
The head-to-head numbers lean clearly toward the hosts. In 5 recent meetings Celtic record 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring 12 and conceding 6. The one home Premiership fixture in that sample ended 6-0. Dundee have failed to score in 3 of those 5 encounters. Celtic have scored in 4 of 5 h2h games from their side of the ledger.
At 1.20, a straight Celtic win offers no value. The AH -1.5 at 1.58 (bet365) does. A two-goal winning margin is the base case here given the class gap and the precedent of that 6-0 result at Celtic Park. Back Celtic AH -1.5.
