Celtic FC, on the other hand, have been dominant, with 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses in their 15 matches. Their away record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses indicates they have found success on the road as well.
Based on the current standings and recent performances, this match heavily favors the visiting Celtic FC side. They have shown themselves to be a class above their opponents, and Dundee United's results this season do not bode well for their chances of securing a positive result.
