AdminCeltic Looks to Continue Unbeaten Streak Against Dundee United
Celtic will travel to Tannadice this weekend to face Dundee United, looking to maintain their unbeaten streak in the Scottish Premiership. The Bhoys currently hold an 11-point lead over Aberdeen at the top of the table, but Aberdeen and Rangers have the opportunity to close the gap on Saturday.
Last weekend, Celtic won the Premier Sports Cup against Rangers in a thrilling match that ended in a penalty shootout. This victory marked another milestone in Celtic’s impressive season, and they will be looking to carry this momentum into their match against Dundee United.
Meanwhile, Dundee United is returning to Tannadice after a 4-3 defeat to Motherwell at Fir Park. Despite the loss, Dundee United has not lost at home since late October and is currently sitting in the top six of the Scottish Premiership.
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has expressed his admiration for Celtic’s impressive performance this season, calling them “obscene.” Goodwin acknowledged that his team faces a significant challenge in trying to beat Celtic, who have only dropped two points all season and have conceded just four goals.
Goodwin stated that his team needs to come up with a solid plan to cause an upset against Celtic. He emphasized the importance of denying Celtic space and having a good defensive shape. Goodwin also expressed his hope that his team can capitalize on Celtic’s mistakes and create scoring opportunities.
“Celtic are a top-class team with a lot of quality players,” Goodwin said. “They’ve got a lot of depth and a lot of options, so it’s going to be a tough game for us. But we’re at home, and we’ve got to try and make the most of that.”
Goodwin also acknowledged that Celtic’s attack is one of the most potent in the league, with players like Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota causing problems for opposing defenses. However, Goodwin is confident that his team can find a way to nullify Celtic’s attack and create scoring opportunities of their own.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has never faced Dundee United during his managerial career, and this match will be his first visit to Tannadice. Despite this, Celtic has enjoyed success at Tannadice in the past, and Rodgers will be looking to claim three points and maintain Celtic’s position at the top of the league standings.
Rodgers has been impressed with his team’s performance this season, and he is confident that they can continue their unbeaten streak against Dundee United. However, Rodgers is also aware of the challenges that Dundee United will pose, and he is preparing his team for a tough match.
“We know that Dundee United will be a tough opponent,” Rodgers said. “They’ve got a good team and a good manager, and they’ll be looking to cause an upset. But we’re confident in our own abilities, and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
Overall, the match between Celtic and Dundee United promises to be an exciting and closely contested encounter. Both teams will be looking to claim three points and maintain their position in the league standings. With Celtic’s impressive form and Dundee United’s determination to cause an upset, this match is shaping up to be a thrilling encounter.
