🗞️ Team News: Dundee United

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Dundee United gaffer Jim Goodwin to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Kristijan Trapanovski (Knee injury) misses out.

It’s our opinion that The Tangerines could kick off with a 3-4-3 system, beginning the first half with A. Maynard-Brewer, Iurie Iovu, Ross Graham, Krisztián Keresztes, Luca Stephenson, Vicko Sevelj, Emmanuel Agyei, Will Ferry, Neil Farrugia, Max Watters and Amar Fatah.

📰 Team News: Celtic

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has to choose a team with limited availability. Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Arne Engels (Thigh problems), Adam Montgomery (Calf injury), Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Kasper Schmeichel (Shoulder injury) miss out here.

We’re of the thinking that The Bhoys appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out Viljami Sinisalo, Julian Araujo, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, Reo Hatate, A. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hyun-jun Yang, Daizen Maeda and Sebastian Tounekti.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Dundee United have it in them to find the net against this Celtic side, although just one goal is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

Our tip is for a narrow 1-2 advantage for Celtic at full-time. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
