Dundee United vs Celtic

Celtic find themselves navigating within a disastrous beginning to Wilfried Nancy's reign, with the Parkhead colossus having suffered the humiliation of defeat in every one of their first three fixtures under their new manager. The crushing 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised a nadir that few connected with such a club could have envisaged.

The Frenchman enters the only manager in the Bhoys' illustrious annals to suffer defeat in his initial three matches in tenure, and one senses a palpable need to halt this alarming trajectory.

Yet, optimism may be drawn from the Tangerines' continued difficulties. The Dundee outfit have been unable to record success in any of their most recent seven matches, and for all Celtic's ongoing difficulties, the away side still command superior talent. We are endorsing the green-and-white institution to secure an essential victory.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

While Brentford have performed exceeding projections under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this campaign, the Bees have now been unable to claim three points from any of their most recent three games. Additionally, they have likewise been unable to triumph in any of their most recent five encounters with the Citizens – including four reverses.

Given this context, we are backing Manchester City to claim progression and advance for the semi-finals.

Wilson's Moment at St James' Park

Harry Wilson is experiencing an exceptional run of form for Fulham, with the Wales international scoring four goals in his last seven games for the Cottagers. The winger additionally claimed three goals for his Wales during the November international intermission.
