Aberdeen vs Dundee United: match preview
Aberdeen are currently sitting inside the top six of the Scottish Premiership table, but recent results have been far from convincing, allowing their rivals to close the gap. Aberdeen have lost three of their last four matches. They have collected 24 points from 17 games and are only ahead of the seventh-placed team on tiebreakers. While Aberdeen do have a game in hand, the margin remains slim, meaning even a victory would not significantly increase their advantage.
Dundee United, on the other hand, have been producing solid results in recent matches and have climbed up the table. The team are unbeaten in three consecutive games, recording two draws and one win. They currently sit eighth with 21 points after 18 matches, just three points behind sixth-placed Aberdeen. As a result, this match represents a real opportunity for Dundee United to close the gap and push for a place in the top six, which would secure a spot in the Championship Group.
Probable lineups
- Aberdeen: Mitov; Devlin, Milne, Knoester; Jensen, Armstrong, Aouchiche, Gyamfi; Karlsson, Lazetic, Keskinen
- Dundee United: Richards; Sevelj, Keresztes, Graham; Naamo, Sibbald, Stephenson, Ferry; Sapsford, Fatah, Watters
Prediction
Dundee United are in decent form, but they face a difficult away trip to Aberdeen. It will not be an easy task, although Dundee United have avoided defeat against this opponent in recent meetings and have a chance to extend that run. I suggest a bet on both teams to score in this match. The odds for this outcome are 1.66.
