Dundee Utd match preview
This weekend we are back on the road as we face Dundee United at Tannadice Park. Both teams domestically are coming into this game from defeats. We are coming off the back of a 2-1 defeat, and the visitors are coming from a 2-0 loss at home. So, we will be looking to bounce back from that last result and grab a result away from home.
Despite a positive performance against Rangers, a last-minute strike from Aarons saw the visitors snatch all 3 points. We are coming off a 2-1 home loss against Rangers. This was our 4th league defeat of the season and we have not won in the last 6 matches, scoring 4 goals during that run and have conceded 10. We look to bounce back from that disappointing loss and climb up that table sitting in 10th, 3 points behind our hosts. We hope to get back to winning ways after our loss and grab a positive result against decent opposition.
Dundee United is coming off a 2-0 home loss against Kilmarnock, the hosts missed a late penalty to help mount a fightback but sit 5th in the league with 2 wins 2 draws and 2 losses, so they will be looking to bounce back with their second home match in a row. They have scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches and have kept 2 clean sheets during that run too.
The key players for this match will be Jerome Prior, who is up for POTM. Has made some incredible saves in recent matches and has been critical in certain moments in games, so he will be looking to keep his form for this away match and get his first clean sheet in 3 matches. Another key player for this match will be Lewis Smith, who was impressive in last weekend’s match, his creativity and attacking prowess will help the team score and grab a good result.
In the last 5 matches between the sides, it’s even between both sides with 2 wins for each teams and 1 draw. The last game was a 2-1 win back in May 2023. So, we will be looking repeat that again over our hosts and grab a positive result away from home.
