I think Dundee carry enough attacking threat to get on the scoresheet on Sunday, which brings both teams to score into the equation at Dens Park. The Dark Blues struck twice in their home victory over Celtic earlier in the campaign, and they also held the Hoops to a 1-1 draw in a Scottish Cup tie at Parkhead just a couple of months ago before losing in extra time.

Moreover, both teams have scored in five of Dundee’s last six Scottish Premiership home matches, a run that includes a pair of 2-2 draws as well as a 3-3 thriller with Hibernian. Therefore, Steven Pressley’s side will be quietly confident of landing a blow on a Celtic backline that has failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last seven top-flight outings. 

While Celtic blanked against Dundee United a couple of weeks ago, that was something of a rarity. What’s more, both teams scored in each of the Bhoys’ previous six league matches prior to their loss at Tannadice, further strengthening the case for a repeat here.

I tend to target high corner counts in Celtic games, and I think all the signs point towards plenty in their fixture with Dundee on Sunday. Steven Pressley’s side are well drilled and organised, so the Glasgow heavyweights may need to be patient in trying to break the hosts down - a scenario that should lead to a steady stream of corner opportunities.

Moreover, high corner counts have been a feature of Celtic matches for several seasons, and this campaign is no different, with the Hoops’ Scottish Premiership games averaging 10.39 flag kicks per game. That is largely driven by their own output, underlined by an average of 6.78 corners per 90. There is further encouragement from the fact that each of Celtic’s last four league matches away from home have produced 12+ corners.

While Dundee have not been particularly strong from a team corners perspective in the Scottish Premiership this season, I think they can still play their part, especially on home soil. What’s more, the Dark Blues won the corner battle 7-4 away at league leaders Hearts last time out, and they forced five corners away at Celtic in a Scottish Cup tie not too long ago.
