sportsmole.co.uk, 3 August 2024, 23:29

Dundee Utd vs. Dundee (Sunday, 1.30pm)

In their first game of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership, Dundee United are set to host Dundee at Tannadice Park in the first Dundee derby of the campaign on Sunday.

The home side finished first in the Scottish Championship last term with 75 points from 36 games, while the visitors finished sixth in the Premiership with 42 points from 38 matches.

We say: Dundee United 2-2 Dundee

Although 2024-25 will be Dundee United's first season back in the top flight, their good record in this derby will give them confidence that they can achieve a positive result.

However, Dundee will pose challenges for the hosts given their good performances in pre-season friendlies and the League Cup.

St Mirren vs. Hibernian (Sunday, 3.00pm)

In their first game of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership, St Mirren are set to host Hibernian at St Mirren Park on Sunday.

The home side finished fifth in the Scottish Premiership last term with 47 points from 38 games, while the visitors finished eighth with 46 points.

We say: St Mirren 2-1 Hibernian

Buoyed by their progression to the Europa Conference League's third qualifying round, St Mirren will be confident of victory on Sunday.

Additionally, Hibs' poor away record should see them come into the clash as underdogs.

Celtic vs. Kilmarnock (Sunday, 4.30pm)

In their first game of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership, Celtic are set to begin their title defence against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park on Sunday.

The home side won the league last term with 93 points from 38 games, while the visitors finished fourth with 56 points and made the Europa League qualifiers.

We say: Celtic 3-1 Kilmarnock

Although Kilmarnock posed challenges to Celtic last season, the hosts have continued their excellent form through their pre-season friendlies.

Additionally, Celtic's strong record in league openers should see them come into the game as clear favourites.
